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...
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...
Dynamics of Regional Distribution: The Core and Satellite Species Hypothesis
A new concept is introduced to analyse species' regional distributions and to relate the pattern of distributions to niche relations. Several sets of data indicate that average ...
Evolutionary history and the effect of biodiversity on plant productivity
Loss of biological diversity because of extinction is one of the most pronounced changes to the global environment. For several decades, researchers have tried to understand how...
