The effects of dispersal, herbivory, and competition on plant community assembly
Dispersal is a key process in community assembly but is often considered separately from
downstream assembly processes (eg, competition, herbivory). However, dispersal varies by …

Dispersal and recruitment limitation contribute differently to community assembly
Z Peng, S Zhou, DY Zhang - Journal of plant ecology, 2012 - academic.oup.com
Aims The neutral theory of biodiversity has been criticized for being fragile with even slight
deviations from its basic assumption of equal fitness among species. In response to this …

Strong species‐environment feedback shapes plant community assembly along environmental gradients
J Jiang, DL DeAngelis - Ecology and Evolution, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
An aim of community ecology is to understand the patterns of competing species assembly
along environmental gradients. All species interact with their environments. However …

Community assembly by limiting similarity vs. competitive hierarchies: testing the consequences of dispersion of individual traits
T Herben, DE Goldberg - Journal of Ecology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The degree of dispersion of trait values among species in a community has frequently been
used to infer processes of community assembly. However, multiple assembly processes can …

Intraspecific aggregation alters competitive interactions in experimental plant communities
P Stoll, D Prati - Ecology, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
We tested the prediction from spatial competition models that intraspecific aggregation may
promote coexistence and thus maintain biodiversity with experimental communities of four …
