Inferring community assembly mechanisms from functional diversity patterns: the importance of multiple assembly processes (2012, background): “Variability among communities can also arise from priority effects (Booth & Larson 1999; Chase 2003), and it could be that initial colonization and establishment history may play a larger role in unproductive alpine environments.”
Connectivity, scale‐dependence, and the productivity–diversity relationship (2004, methodology): “Empirical surveys (Harrison & Quinn 1989; Harrison 1997, 1999; Chase 2003a ) and experiments (Forbes & Chase 2002; Kneitel & Miller 2003) support this relationship in a variety of ecosystems.”
Resource availability mediates the importance of priority effects in plant community assembly and ecosystem function (2013, background): “Community assembly theory posits that due to colonization history, multiple community states (both transient and stable) can result from a single species pool (Drake 1991, Chase 2003, Fukami and Nakajima 2011).”
Species divergence and trait convergence in experimental plant community assembly (2005, background): “…*Correspondence: E-mail: fukamit@landcareresearch.co.nz 2005 Blackwell Publishing Ltd/CNRS understood because it is difficult to manipulate or reconstruct assembly history in real ecosystems at sufficient scales and in sufficient detail (Samuels & Drake 1997; Belyea & Lancaster 1999; Chase 2003).”
Reducing redundancy in invasion ecology by integrating hypotheses into a single theoretical framework (2009, background): “The importance of invasion history (Rejmánek, 2000; Chase, 2003) and the time–invasion relationship are becoming increasingly evident (Castro et al., 2005; Pysek & Jarosík, 2005; Richardson & Pysek, 2006; Wilson et al., 2007) and should not be overlooked.”
Priority effects and ecological restoration (2020, background): “For instance, priority effects may not be evident in systems with strong equilibrium dynamics, but they might be important drivers of assembly in systems that easily shift into multiple alternative states (Chase 2003; Vannette & Fukami 2014; D’Antonio et al. 2017).”
Effects of dispersal mode on the environmental and spatial correlates of nestedness and species turnover in pond communities (2017, background): “Further, historical community assembly could not be examined in this study, but it has been demonstrated to influence contemporary community structure in pond habitats in other studies (Chase 2003).”
Historical Contingency in Community Assembly: Integrating Niches, Species Pools, and Priority Effects (2015, background): “Instead, it has become increasingly clear that how species affect one another depends on the particular order and timing in which different species happen to join communities, the phenomenon known as priority effects (Chase 2003).”
Community assembly along a species pool gradient: implications for multiple-scale patterns of species diversity (2004, background): “…simulation study support the argument that future biodiversity research will benefit from considering the role that assembly history and its interaction with environmental heterogeneity may play in controlling the relative contribution of a- and bdiversity to c-diversity (Wilson 1992; Chase 2003).”
Applying ecological principles of crop cultivation in large-scale algal biomass production (2014, background): “Both the taxonomic identities and the diversity of algal and invertebrate species that are available to invade microalgal cultivation ponds will depend upon the size and composition of regional species pools [25,26].”
State-and-Transition Models, Thresholds, and Rangeland Health: A Synthesis of Ecological Concepts and Perspectives (2005, background): “The unique characteristics of structural and functional thresholds are most evident when multiple stable states involve functionally similar species that minimize the effect of altered vegetation structure on ecosystem processes (Chase 2003).”
The relative importance of dispersal and local processes in structuring phytoplankton communities in a set of highly interconnected ponds (2008, background): “In addition, the assembly history of a community may have a larger influence on contemporary community composition when dispersal is relatively rare (Robinson & Edgemon, 1988; Chase, 2003).”
Invaders are not a random selection of species (2009, background): “Several types of filters have been suggested, including biogeographic (physical barriers), physiological (match between invader and recipient environment), and biotic (resistance of the native community) filters (e.g., Carlton 1985; Moyle and Light 1996; Chase 2003; Fargione et al. 2003).”
