基金：We thank NCEAS and their staff for computing support that made the calculations of fine-scale beta diversity possible. We also thank Jeannine Cavender-Bares, Ken Kozak, and David Ackerly for the invitation to contribute to this Special Issue. The collection of plant material for DNA sequencing and trait quantification was funded by the F. H. Levinson Fund for BCI and a Center for Tropical Forest Science research grant awarded to N. G. Swenson for Luquillo. DNA barcode sequencing and analyses for BCI and Luquillo were supported by funds from the Smithsonian Institution Global Earth Observatories (SIGEO) project. The Luquillo forest plot has been supported by National Science Foundation grants (BSR-9015961 and DEB-0516066) and from the Mellon Foundation. National Science Foundation funds to the Luquillo Long-Term Ecology Research Site (BSR-88111902, DEB-9411973, DEB-008538, DEB-0218039, and DEB-0620910) also supported this work. The BCI forest dynamics research project was made possible by National Science Foundation grants to Stephen P.

MacArthur Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, the Celera Foundation, and numerous private individuals, and through the hard work of over 100 people from 10 countries over the past two decades. Establishment of the SCBI plot by N. A. Bourg and W. J. McShea was funded by the HSBC Climate Partnership, SIGEO, and the Smithsonian Institution. All forest plots are part of the Center for Tropical Forest Science, a global network of large-scale demographic tree plots.

摘要：The study of biodiversity has tended to focus primarily on relatively information-poor measures of species diversity. Recently, many studies of local diversity (alpha diversity) have begun to use measures of functional and phylogenetic alpha diversity. Investigations into the phylogenetic and functional dissimilarity (beta diversity) of communities have been far less numerous, but these dissimilarity measures have the potential to infer the mechanisms underlying community assembly and dynamics. Here, we relate levels of phylogenetic and functional alpha diversity to levels of phylogenetic and functional beta diversity to infer the mechanism or mechanisms responsible for the assembly of tree communities in six forests located in tropical and temperate latitudes. The results show that abiotic filtering plays a role in structuring local assemblages and governing spatial turnover in community composition and that phylogenetic measures of alpha and beta diversity are not strong predictors of functional alpha and beta diversity in the forests studied.
