Modes of speciation and the neutral theory of biodiversity (2007, background): “Hubbell developed his theory analogous to the neutral theory of molecular evolution (Kimura 1983) with individuals, species, speciation and ecological drift replacing genes, alleles, mutation and genetic drift, respectively (Chave 2004, Hu et al. 2006).”
Conceptual Synthesis in Community Ecology (2010, background): “The fact that neutral theory was imported into ecology essentially unchanged from population genetics suggests the possibility of a broader synthesis of processes in both population genetics and community ecology, neutral and otherwise (Vellend and Geber 2005; Hu et al. 2006; Vellend and Orrock 2009”
Statistical mechanics of ecological systems: Neutral theory and beyond (2015, background): “Although it is not mandatory from the neutral assumption, models often assume that demographic stochasticity is the main source of fluctuations in stochastic neutral dynamics [73, 122].”
Dispersal strength determines meta‐community structure in a dendritic riverine network (2015, background): “In low connectivity systems, weak dispersers are highly isolated, leading to species distributions ruled by ecological drift and niche filtering (Hu et al., 2006).”
