Context-dependent interactions and the regulation of species richness in freshwater fish

Context-dependent interactions and the regulation of species richness in freshwater fish

Species richness patterns are driven by biotic and abiotic factors, the relative strengths of which are unclear. Here, the authors test how species interactions or environmental traits influence fish richness across over 700 Canadian lakes, showing a surprisingly small role of negative interactions.
