Disturbance alters beta‐diversity but not the relative importance of community assembly mechanisms (2015, background): “Community assembly is hypothesized to reflect the interplay of dispersal from a regional species pool, environmental filtering, local biotic interactions and ecological drift (Hubbell 2001; Vellend 2010; Chase & Myers 2011; HilleRisLambers et al. 2012).”
Dos and don'ts when inferring assembly rules from diversity patterns (2020, background): “…biotic gradients should then allow deduction of the underlying community assembly processes, thus, moving large-scale community ecology from a purely descriptive discipline to a more process-based understanding (Leibold et al., 2004; Morin, Fahse, Scherer-Lorenzen, & Bugmann, 2011; Vellend, 2010).”
Disentangling mechanisms that mediate the balance between stochastic and deterministic processes in microbial succession (2015, background): “Chase JM (2003) Community assembly: When should history matter? Oecologia 136(4):489–498.”
The role of dispersal in river network metacommunities: Patterns, processes, and pathways (2018, background): “…of populations (selection, drift, mutation, a d dispersal) can be mirrored at the 586 community level, where dispersal, selection, drift and speciation are acting in similar ways,587 resulting in hypothesised correlations between population genetic and community patterns 588 (Vellend, 2005, 2010).”
Stochastic and deterministic assembly processes in subsurface microbial communities (2012, background): “That is, river water intrusion into geologically heterogeneous regions of the subsurface may alter the abiotic environment in ways that impose strong directional selection (sensu Vellend, 2010) on microbial community composition.”
Dispersal in microbes: fungi in indoor air are dominated by outdoor air and show dispersal limitation at short distances (2013, background): “Vellend (2010) recently posited that issues in community ecology would benefit from an approach emphasizing four fundamental processes that have analogies in population genetics: selection, dispersal, community drift and speciation.”
Navigating the multiple meanings of β diversity: a roadmap for the practicing ecologist. (2011, background): “Indeed, the study of b diversity is genuinely at the heart of community ecology – what makes assemblages of species more or less similar to one another at different places and times (Vellend 2010)? Many different measures of b diversity have been introduced, but there is no overall consensus about w”
Impacts of urbanisation on biodiversity: the role of species mobility, degree of specialisation and spatial scale (2015, neutral): “1992, Leibold et al. 2004, Vellend 2010).”
Linking species, traits and habitat characteristics of Collembola at European scale (2014, background): “the four classes of processes that influence patterns in the composition and diversity of 7 species (Vellend, 2010).”
Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology? (2017, background): “its associated community structure (108).”
Using joint species distribution models for evaluating how species‐to‐species associations depend on the environmental context (2017, background): “The assembly dynamics of species communities depend on both environmental filtering and biotic filtering (Vellend 2010; G€otzenberger et al. 2012).”
