Abstract The enemy‐induced Janzen–Connell (JC) effect, a classic model invoking
conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) and distance dependence, is a primary …

The Janzen–Connell (JC) hypothesis, one of the most influential hypotheses explaining
forest diversity, is inconsistent with evidence that tree species share the same natural …

The negative effect of soil pathogens on seedling survival varies considerably among
conspecific individuals, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. For variation …

The soil pathogen‐induced Janzen–Connell (JC) effect is considered as a primary
mechanism regulating plant biodiversity worldwide. As predicted by the framework of the …

There is increasing interest in the role played by density-dependent mortality from natural
enemies, particularly plant pathogens, in promoting the coexistence and diversity of tropical …

In forests, negative density/distance-dependent seedling mortality (NDD) caused by natural
enemies plays a key role in maintaining species diversity [Janzen–Connell (J–C) model] …

Invasive pathogens can cause considerable damage to forest ecosystems. Lack of
coevolution is generally thought to enable invasive pathogens to bypass the defence and/or …

Biodiversity is thought to help regulate the impacts of disease through the dilution effect,
where biodiversity among potential host species helps limit the impacts of pathogens …

The Janzen–Connell (J–C) Model proposes that host‐specific enemies maintain high tree
species diversity by reducing seedling performance near conspecific adults and promoting …

An increase in tree mortality rates as a consequence of biotic disturbances has been
detected worldwide. Biotic disturbances in forests might cause significant impacts at …
