Vertebrates in phylocenogenesis

Abstract

Phylocenogenesis of vertebrates differs from successions and phylocenogenesis of phytocenoses in that vertebrates do not die off but only change their habitat upon transition between stages of succession. Phylocenogenesis of vertebrates is independent of that of plant communities. Changes in species composition, including speciation, that do not lead to the rearrangement of relationships in the native vertebrate community are not phytocenological events. Phylocenogenesis is initiated by the origination or invasion of life forms that are new for a given ecosystem, which leads to changes in the structure of ecological connections and redistribution of matter and energy fluxes. A phylogenetic change at the level of vertebrate community implies irreversible alteration in the composition of life forms and ecological interactions in the ecosystem.
