Resumo
Abstract: Since at the end of the XX century many problems related to the spatial and temporal scales
in community ecology studies have been widely discussed. Several authors address the issues in a provocative
way, criticizing not only how ecological communities are defined, but also in which scales they
are typically studied. In order to analyze some of the main disharmonies in the scientific literature, we
review two recent key articles about this topic, presenting their different conceptions about how communities
should be understood. In addition, we discuss about the scarcity of data on biogeography, phylogenies
and life-history traits of organisms, indicating that the resolution of questions related to scales is
linked to the availability of such information. Finally, we advise that space-time extensions should never
be disregarded when studying ecological communities, just as we should never forget about biological
differences among organisms
