Species richness in an area is the result of environmental factors (e. g. primary productivity or habitat heterogeneity), historical factors (colonization, extinction, and human influences), and species interactions within the species assemblage. However, the relative importance of species assemblage, in respect to other factors, on species richness has rarely been analysed. This study analyses the relative importance of environment and species assemblage on vertebrate species richness in south-eastern Spain. The results show that 37 % of the variance in species richness was explained by the correlation between species assemblage and environmental-spatial variables. Species richness increased with habitat heterogeneity (habitat diversity an...
