| Abstract | Background Biodiversity
exists at different levels of organisation: e.g. genetic, individual,
population, species, and community. These levels of organisation all exist
within the same system, with diversity patterns emerging across organisational
scales through several key processes. Despite this inherent interconnectivity,
observational studies reveal that diversity patterns across levels are not
consistent and the underlying mechanisms for variable continuity in diversity
across levels remain elusive. To investigate these mechanisms, we apply a
spatially explicit simulation model to simulate the global diversification of
tropical reef fishes at both the population and species levels through emergent
population-level processes. Results We find significant relationships between the population and species levels of diversity which vary depending on both the measure of diversity and the spatial partitioning considered. In turn, these population-species relationships are driven by modelled biological trait parameters, especially the divergence threshold at which populations speciate. Conclusions To explain variation in multi-level diversity patterns, we propose a simple, yet novel, population-to-species diversity partitioning mechanism through speciation which disrupts continuous diversity patterns across organisational levels. We expect that in real-world systems this mechanism is driven by the molecular dynamics that determine genetic incompatibility, and therefore reproductive isolation between individuals. We put forward a framework in which the mechanisms underlying patterns of diversity across organisational levels are universal, and through this show how variable patterns of diversity can emerge through organisational scale. |
