Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning: A complex adaptive systems approach (2004, background): “…of species, but biology is a nested set of CASs acting on different levels, from evolution by natural selection to succession within local communities to biogeographical aspects of metacommunities, any of which may take place on many spatial scales (Holling 2001; Leibold and Norberg 2004).”
Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “These symbiont metacommunities exhibit the properties of Complex Adaptive Systems (Levin, 1998; Leibold and Norberg, 2004), leading to the emergence of coral colonies, dominated by very unusual symbionts, with novel physiological capabilities.”
Effects of nutrient enrichment on Prymnesium parvum population dynamics and toxicity: results from field experiments, Lake Possum Kingdom, USA (2007, background): “Immigration certainly influences community structure and can alter plankton dynamics (Leibold & Norberg 2004, Leibold et al. 2004).”
Effects of topography on structuring local species assemblages in a Sri Lankan mixed dipterocarp forest (2013, background): “Niche theory predicts that similar species assemblages should emerge on sites having similar environmental characteristics (Leibold & Norberg 2004; Tilman 2004) and that niches are uniform and constant throughout all life stages (e.g. MacArthur & Levins 1967).”
A trait-based approach for downscaling complexity in plankton ecosystem models (2009, methodology): “, 2000) and from the adaptive dynamics approach (Abrams et al., 75 1993; Dieckmann and Law, 1996; Leibold and Norberg, 2004; Norberg, 2004), 76 we will present a self-consistent methodological framework for deriving trait77 based models of aggregate group behaviour.”
A biodiversity‐inspired approach to aquatic ecosystem modeling (2007, background): “The resulting approach bears strong resemblance to complex adaptive systems theory (Levin 1998; Leibold and Norberg 2004; Norberg 2004), which aspires to understand (eco)system dynamics in terms of diversity and selection.”
