Two of the central questions of community ecology are whether there are forces influencing diversity and composition of species communities and which measure of diversity provides useful information on a community. Communities of tropical regions, such as the world’s most species rich tadpole communities from Madagascar, are attractive models to face these questions. In two consecutive wet seasons and a dry season (2007-2008) we have repeatedly sampled >30 communities and identified species by DNA barcoding. We analysed patterns of species richness and composition and their correlations with environmental variables. We also tested the performance of three measures of diversity (species richness [SR], functional diversity [FD], and phylogene...
