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...
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...
Spatial Moment Equations for Plant Competition: Understanding Spatial Strategies and the Advantages of Short Dispersal
A plant lineage can compete for resources in a spatially variable environment by colonizing new areas, exploiting resources in those areas quickly before other plants arrive to ...
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 ...
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 ...
