Trade‐offs and Biological Diversity: Integrative Answers to Ecological Questions
PR Martin - Integrative organismal biology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
What determines the abundance and distribution of species? This question is paramount to
ecology because it encompasses the interactions of individuals, populations, and species …

Recasting the dynamic equilibrium model through a functional lens: the interplay of trait‐based community assembly and climate
According to the dynamic equilibrium hypothesis (DEH), plant species richness is locally
controlled by productivity and disturbance. Given that regional conditions widely affect local …

Does energy flux predict density‐dependence? An empirical field test
Abstract Changes in population density alter the availability, acquisition, and expenditure of
resources by individuals, and consequently their contribution to the flux of energy in a …

CeO2 nanoparticles alter the outcome of species interactions
Despite considerable research on the environmental impacts of nanomaterials, we know
little about how they influence interactions between species. Here, we investigated the acute …
