The Roles of Harsh and Fluctuating Conditions in the Dynamics of Ecological Communities
Harsh conditions (e.g., mortality and stress) reduce population growth rates directly; secondarily, they may reduce the intensity of interactions between organisms. Near-exclusi...
Host–parasitoid spatial ecology: a plea for a landscape-level synthesis
A growing body of literature points to a large-scale research approach as essential for understanding population and community ecology. Many of our advances regarding the spatia...
Competition and coexistence in plant communities
Few ecologists today doubt that competition is an important structuring factor in plant communities, but researchers disagree on the circumstances where it is most intense, and ...
Short-term instabilities and long-term community dynamics
Competition in a temporally variable environment leads to sequences of short-term instabilities that in some cases are the mechanism of long-term coexistence; in other cases the...
Mechanisms of Maintenance of Species Diversity
▪ Abstract The focus of most ideas on diversity maintenance is species coexistence, which may be stable or unstable. Stable coexistence can be quantified by the long-term rates ...
