             abstract = "Abiotic and biotic factors are known drivers that modulate 
                         community assembly from a regional species pool. Recent evidence 
                         has highlighted the intrinsic role of phylogenetic history on 
                         communities' response to the environment. Understanding its exact 
                         role poses a challenge because community assembly is embedded in a 
                         spatio-temporal context where dispersal capabilities and biotic 
                         interactions may also determine species niches, especially in 
                         isolated oceanic islands. We unravelled how reef fish abundances 
                         from four oceanic islands in the southwestern Atlantic responded 
                         to environmental variability through seven years considering their 
                         phylogenetic history, functional traits and species co-occurrence 
                         patterns. Species response to environmental variation was assessed 
                         through a multivariate hierarchical generalized linear mixed model 
                         that allows the inclusion of spatio-temporal random effects, 
                         fitted with Bayesian inference. We found a strong phylogenetic 
                         signal (0.98) and a relatively low variance in abundance explained 
                         by functional traits, from around 30% in spring to 33% in summer, 
                         based on a posterior probability > 0.9. The most important 
                         environmental factor was surface chlorophyll-a concentration, a 
                         proxy for primary productivity, explaining up to 23% of abundance 
                         variance. The global spatial and temporal effects on abundance 
                         were also low, with a maximum of 18% for sampling sites in spring. 
                         Our study offers a synthesis of the influence of complex 
                         phylogenetic history and geographical isolation on reef fish 
                         species niches in isolated oceanic islands, gaining new insights 
                         into how assembly processes have shaped these isolated 
                         communities.",
