Greetings: I am in search of major (i.e., classical or important recent) references dealing with community assembly rules. I am especially interested in those studies where the ecological characteristics (guild membership, microhabitat specialization, body size, etc.) of incoming species play a role in determining the success of assembly.
I apologize for sending such a simple request for sources to the listserv, but I do not have access to SCI or Biological Abstracts, and I do not regularly access such papers and journals in my research (Paleozoic paleoecology). Any assistance would be appreciated. If there is broad interest, I'd be glad to post the bibliography. Sincerely, Phil ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Phil Novack-Gottshall Assistant Professor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Geosciences University of West Georgia Carrollton, GA 30118-3100 Phone: 678-839-4061 Fax: 678-839-4071 http://www.westga.edu/~pnovackg ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
