Community assembly by limiting similarity vs. competitive hierarchies: testing the consequences of dispersion of individual traits (2014, background): “In contrast, lower variation than random (‘trait underdispersion’) is often taken as evidence of environmental filtering from a broader pool or, less often, facilitative effects within the community (Ackerly & Cornwell 2007; G€otzenberger et al. 2011).”
Contrasting changes in taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity during a long‐term succession: insights into assembly processes (2013, background): “If community assembly is driven by deterministic processes, patterns of species co-occurrence are expected to be non-random with respect to species’ traits (Keddy 1992; Zobel 1997; G€otzenberger et al. 2012).”
Root-colonizing and soil-borne communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in a temperate forest understorey1 (2014, background): “In particular, the dispersion of functional traits among species within communities provides clues to the processes influencing community composition (Götzenberger et al. 2012).”
Rethinking Community Assembly through the Lens of Coexistence Theory (2012, background): “The most common modern metaphor of community assembly then describes this subpool of species passing through an environmental (abiotic) filter and a biotic filter (e.g., Belyea & Lancaster 1999, Chase 2003, Götzenberger et al. 2012).”
Can limiting similarity increase invasion resistance? A meta‐analysis of experimental studies (2013, methodology): “A review of assembly rules literature of randomisation approaches found limited support for limiting similarity, ~ 9% of cases (Götzenberger et al. 2012).”
On the need for phylogenetic ‘corrections’ in functional trait-based approaches (2015, background): “Here, the question of how traits relate to the environment is formulated in terms of whether the environment selects communities with certain trait values, often referring this selection effect as ‘environmental filtering’ (Götzenberger et al. 2012).”
