Species richness is regulated by a complex network of scale-dependent processes. This complexity can obscure the influence of limiting species interactions, making it difficult to determine if abiotic or biotic drivers are more predominant regulators of richness. Using integrative modeling of freshwater fish richness from 721 lakes along an 11<sup>o</sup> latitudinal gradient, we find negative interactions to be a relatively minor independent predictor of species richness in lakes despite the wi ...[more]
