Abstract
Niche theory predicts that species diversity should increase with increased environmental heterogeneity. In contrast to this prediction, breeding bird diversity in Catalonia shows an overall unimodal heterogeneity–diversity relationship (HDR). We attributed this result to a fundamental geometric constraint termed the area–heterogeneity tradeoff (AHTO) (1).
