Coexistence on a Seasonal Resource
A model is presented giving conditions for competitive coexistence on a single resource with seasonal productivity. It is assumed that individuals can allocate time to foraging ...
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...
DEMOGRAPHIC STOCHASTICITY AND THE VARIANCE REDUCTION EFFECT
Demographic stochasticity is almost universally modeled as sampling variance in a homogeneous population, although it is defined as arising from random variation among individua...
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 ...
Biodiversity may regulate the temporal variability of ecological systems
The effect of biodiversity on natural communities has recently emerged as a topic of considerable ecological interest. We review studies that explicitly test whether the number ...
