Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning in a 15-year grassland experiment: Patterns, mechanisms, and open questions (2017, background): “In line with evidence from tropical forests, the negative effects of soil biota on plant growth are expected to be species-specific and dependent on the local abundance of a plant species (cf. Janzen–Connell hypothesis; Mordecai 2011; Johnson, Beaulieu, Bever, & Clay 2012).”
Where, when and how plant-soil feedback matters in a changing world (2016, background): “For example, there is little direct evidence for the role played by soil-borne pathogens in plant coexistence (Mordecai 2011).”
How to quantify competitive ability (2018, background): “The definition also applies when there are priority effects (i.e. positive frequency dependence, as might occur with allelopathic interactions, for example), or when species are niche differentiated (i.e. negative frequency dependence, Mordecai, 2011).”
Invasive plants escape from suppressive soil biota at regional scales (2014, background): “Soil biota has important effects on the distribution and abundance of plant species and the structure and functioning of plant communities (Ehrenfeld, Ravit & Elgersma 2005; Callaway & Rout 2011; Mordecai 2011).”
Disentangling the drivers of context‐dependent plant–animal interactions (2014, background): “gens (Packer & Clay 2000; Mangan et al. 2010; Mordecai 2011), and pollinators (Herrera et al.”
Linking modern coexistence theory and contemporary niche theory (2017, background): “Chesson (2008) has discussed the potential for negative stabilizing mechanisms, and more recently Mordecai (2011) provided a conceptual model for the integration of priority effects into Chesson’s framework (see also Fukami et al., 2016).”
Plant Responses to Simultaneous Biotic and Abiotic Stress: Molecular Mechanisms (2014, background): “Moreover, biotic stress is an additional challenge inducing a strong pressure on plants and adding to the damage through pathogen or herbivore attack [7–11].”
Pathogen accumulation and long‐term dynamics of plant invasions (2013, background): “Although theory predicts that abundant, high-density species will be more heavily attacked by pathogens than less common species (Clay et al. 2008; Mordecai 2011), we are unaware of any documented cases of pathogen accumulation leading to invasive species decline, and there are very few documented…”
