Acknowledgements: We are grateful to the Sabah Forestry Department and the Sabah Biodiversity Centre for allowing us to conduct our research in Sepilok as well as to the South East Asia Rainforest Research Partnership for the logistical support. This work was supported by a grant through the Human Modified Tropical Forests programme of NERC (NE/K016377/1) as well as a Cambridge NERC-DTP studentship. Resurvey of the field plots was supported by an ERC Advanced Grant (291585, T-FORCES) awarded to O.L.P. S.E.D.T was supported by the Joint Imperial-NUS PhD Scholarship. J.R. was supported by fellowships from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) (NE/I021179, NE/L011611/1). We thank members of the NERC Airborne Research Facility and Data Analysis Node for the collection and processing of the data (project code MA14/21). Data processing was aided by the NERCs JASMIN computing cluster and the Imperial College London computing facilities. We would also like to thank Felix May for his advice during the early stages of this study. The quality of this manuscript was greatly improved by the comments of Gabriel Arellano and two other anonymous Reviewers.121743112engneutral theorytropical forestnichehyperspectralLiDARbeta diversitydispersalBIODIVERSITYREGRESSIONNICHEBeta diversityPATTERNSCOMMUNITIESUAV-LIDARDISTRIBUTIONSNEUTRAL MODELSFUNCTIONAL TRAITSBETA-DIVERSITYQH301 BiologyEcology, Evolution, Behavior and SystematicsEuropean Research Council291585Natural Environment Research Council (NERC)NE/K016377/1NE/I021179NE/L011611/1MA14/21Supplementary DataQH301Journal article10.1111/ele.13357https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ele.13357http://www.mendeley.com/research/reconciling-contribution-environmental-stochastic-structuring-tropical-forest-diversity-through-lenshttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85072234939&partnerID=8YFLogxK2210
