Monotonic or Unimodal Diversity‐Productivity Gradients: What Does Competition Theory Predict?
This article discusses two types of proposed relationships between resource productivity and the diversity of coexisting consumer species. Monotonically increasing curves have r...
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...
Plant diversity and ecosystem productivity: Theoretical considerations
Ecosystem processes are thought to depend on both the number and identity of the species present in an ecosystem, but mathematical theory predicting this has been lacking. Here ...
A General Hypothesis of Species Diversity
A new hypothesis, based on differences in the rates at which populations of competing species approach competitive equilibrium (reduction or exclusion of some species), is propo...
