Differences in sensory ecology contribute to resource partitioning in the bats Myotis bechsteinii and Myotis nattereri (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) (2006, background): “There are current advancements reconciling the neutral theory of biodiversity (Hubbell 2001) with predictions of niche-differentiation-based theories (Chave 2004; Tilman 2004).”
Green corridors in urban landscapes affect the arthropod communities of domestic gardens (2012, background): “…with domestic gardens, a unique urban woodlot (park or wood up to 150 ha) in a 1.5 km radius that was potentially the only source for arthropods (Chave, 2004), to avoid the effect of uncontrolled potential sources of arthropods, and a woody corridor (between 20 and 50 m wide) (Davies and…”
Niche partitioning at multiple scales facilitates coexistence among mosquito larvae (2008, background): “environmentally distinct bromeliads will house neutral species groups (Chave 2004).”
A novel genealogical approach to neutral biodiversity theory (2004, background): “Although neutral community models have been around for a long time (Caswell 1976; Chesson & Warner 1981; Hubbell & Foster 1986; Fagerstro ¨m 1988; Bramson et al. 1997; Dewdney 2000; Bell 2001; for a review see Chave 2004 ), Hubbell (2001) was the first to propose a general theoretical framework and”
The distance decay of similarity in ecological communities (2007, background): “Chave (2004) even stressed that the niche- and neutral processes are complementary also theoretically, given that the former refers to deterministic processes in species poor communities, and the latter to highly diverse assemblages emphasizing the role of stochastic processes in coexistence.”
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).”
Assembly rules within earthworm communities in North-Western France—A regional analysis (2008, background): “The observed co-occurrence patterns may also arise from a ‘stochastic checkerboard’ (Chave, 2004; Ulrich, 2004).”
Network isolation and local diversity in neutral metacommunities (2010, background): “Ecological neutral theory (Hubbell 2001, Chave 2004) provides a quantitative, mechanistic framework for understanding biodiversity patterns in metacommunities in terms of a minimal set of stochastic biological processes.”
Taxonomical and functional microbial community selection in soybean rhizosphere (2014, background): “In some systems, both deterministic (niche theory) and stochastic (neutral theory) processes are responsible for structuring ecological communities (Chave, 2004).”
Coexistence of the niche and neutral perspectives in community ecology. (2006, background): “…other features of real communities (e.g., spatiotemporal patterns of species turnover [Adler 2004], distributions along gradients [Chase et al. 2005], and patterns resulting from experimental manipulations [Wootton 2005] demand more complicated explanations; see also the review by Chave 2004).”
Habitat suitability modelling and niche theory (2008, background): “The synthesis of these contradictory viewpoints is beginning (Chave 2004; Ricklefs 2004; Tilman 2004), and HSMs no doubt have an important role to play.”
A meta-analysis of species-abundance distributions (2010, background): “Similarly, models of species abundance based on ecological drift (Hubbell 2001, Chave 2004) predict logseries SADs of metacommunities at the regional scale and skewed lognormal SADs at local scales if dispersal limitation leads to spatial autocorrelation (Chave 2004). Our metaanalysis does not direc”
Hubbell's fundamental biodiversity parameter and the Simpson diversity index (2005, background): “Since the first application of the neutral allele model of population genetics to the study of relative species abundance (Caswell 1976; Hubbell 1979) and the recent synthetic treatment of the subject (Hubbell 2001), the neutral theory of biodiversity has become one of the most studied subjects in e”
