  abstract = {{M}any plant species exhibit strong association with topographic habitats at local scales. {H}owever, the historical biogeographic and physiological drivers of habitat specialization are still poorly understood, and there is a need for relatively easy-to-measure predictors of species habitat niche breadth. {H}ere, we explore whether species geographic range, climatic envelope, or intraspecific variability in leaf traits is related to the degree of habitat specialization in a hyperdiverse tropical tree community in {A}mazonian {E}cuador. {C}ontrary to our expectations, we find no effect of the size of species geographic ranges, the diversity of climate a species experiences across its range, or intraspecific variability in leaf traits in predicting topographic habitat association in the similar to 300 most common tropical tree species in a 25-ha tropical forest plot. {I}n addition, there was no phylogenetic signal to habitat specialization. {W}e conclude that species geographic range size, climatic niche breadth, and intraspecific variability in leaf traits fail to capture the habitat specialization patterns observed in this highly diverse tropical forest.},
