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...
Unsaturation and regional influences on species richness in ecological communities: A review of the evidence
According to the traditional Volterra-Gause viewpoint, the number of species in ecological communities (local richness) was thought to be controlled mainly by species interactio...
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...
