Estimating competition in metacommunities: accounting for biases caused by dispersal
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Estimating the strength of interactions among species in natural communities has always been a challenge for empirical ecologists. Sessile organisms, like plants or corals, often occur in metacommunities where they compete only with their immediate ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Classical tree neighborhood models use size variables acting at point distances. In a new approach here, trees were spatially extended as a function of their crown sizes, represented impressionistically as points within crown areas.

Ecosphere, 2021 Conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) is an important driver of stand‐level tree diversity in temperate forests. CNDD can occur via two main processes.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Density dependence and habitat heterogeneity have been recognized as important driving mechanisms that shape the patterns of seedling survival and promote species coexistence in species‐rich forests. In this study, we evaluated the relative importance of

Positive density dependence acting on mortality can help maintain species-rich communities
eLife, 2020 Conspecific negative density dependence is ubiquitous and has long been recognized as an important factor favoring the coexistence of competing species at local scale.

Immigration Rates during Population Density Reduction in a Coral Reef Fish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Although the importance of density-dependent dispersal has been recognized in theory, few empirical studies have examined how immigration changes over a wide range of densities.

Conspecific negative density dependence in American beech
Forest Ecosystems, 2017 Background One of the most important drivers of forest biodiversity is conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD), a reduction in performance when conspecific densities are high.

A test of the Janzen‐Connell hypothesis in a species‐rich Mediterranean woodland
Ecosphere, 2021 The Janzen‐Connell (JC) hypothesis predicts that conspecific negative density dependence contributes to the maintenance of plant diversity by lowering the recruitment of locally abundant plant species. The JC hypothesis is a widely evoked explanation for

Relating the Strength of Density Dependence and the Spatial Distribution of Individuals
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Spatial patterns in ecology contain useful information about underlying mechanisms and processes. Although there are many summary statistics used to quantify these spatial patterns, there are far fewer models that directly link explicit ecological ...

SPATIAL AUTOCORRELATION OF PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES OF AN OXISOL [PDF]
Engenharia Agrícola, 2021 Studies that seek to identify a smaller number of soil attributes that represent others can generate less expenditure of time and financial resources for monitoring cultivated areas.
