Role of niche restrictions and dispersal in the composition of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities (2007, background): “2004; Chase 2005).”
Bat assemblages on Neotropical land‐bridge islands: nested subsets and null model analyses of species co‐occurrence patterns (2008, background): “Finally, in a more applied context, it has been contended that neutral theory cannot adequately address the question of how fragmentation will differentially alter the composition of species and their interactions with other species in the community (Chase, 2005).”
Neutral theory in macroecology and population genetics (2006, background): “As happened early on to neutral theory in population genetics (Ohta and Gillespie 1996), neutral macroecology has also had its critics (Zhang and Lin 1997, Yu et al. 1998, Clark and McLachlan 2003, McGill 2003, Ricklefs 2003, Chase 2005, Nee 2005).”
Biogeography of European land mammals shows environmentally distinct and spatially coherent clusters (2007, background): “Even the discussion concerning niche-based vs. neutral explanations of community structure does not appear to have drawn on evidence of this kind (Chase, 2005), despite its obvious relevance for key assumptions about the relationship between species and their environment.”
Reconciling niche and neutrality: the continuum hypothesis. (2006, background): “Despite the general agreement that neutral models can predict some aspects of diversity patterns as well or better than previous models (Volkov et al. 2003), they have also raised considerable disagreement (Chase 2005).”
Null Versus Neutral Models: What's The Difference? (2006, background): “The interesting question is not whether drift occurs, but whether adaptive processes also occur and dominate community patterns (Tilman 2004, Chase 2005, McPeek and Gomulkiewicz 2005).”
The Berger–Parker index as an effective tool for monitoring the biodiversity of disturbed soils: a case study on Mediterranean oribatid (Acari: Oribatida) assemblages (2007, background): “However, human-caused disturbance often leads to the extinction of sensitive species, thus making disturbed systems more susceptible to the colonisation of opportunistic species (Chase 2005).”
Niche Partitioning Among White-Lipped Peccaries (Tayassu pecari), Collared Peccaries (Pecari tajacu), and Feral Pigs (Sus Scrofa) (2009, background): “…Pantanal, Pecari tajacu, peccary, resource partitioning, Sus scrofa, Tayassu pecari Community ecologists traditionally assume that species differ in some aspects of their traits or responses to the environment that allow them to coexist in the same habitat (Chase 2005; MacArthur and Levins 1967).”
Defining invasiveness and invasibility in ecological networks (2016, background): “Despite contrasting opinions on the applicability of neutral theory to real world communities (Chase 2005; Clark 2012; Rosindell et al. 2012), it is now widely accepted that both deterministic and stochastic processes interact to structure species assemblages (Bar-Massada et al.”
