| Summary: | This text is about the identification and interpretation of nature's large-scale patterns of species co-occurrence and what we can deduce from them about how nature works. We present Diamond's assembly rules. He suggested that similar species avoid each other, choosing different islands or, on large islands, different elevations within an island, for no better explanation than to avoid each other. Diamond concentrated on birds in two island groups off New Guinea-the Solomons and the Bismarcks. Diamond's ideas were vigorously challenged by those who suggested the patterns were simply chance occurrences.
