Dos and don'ts when inferring assembly rules from diversity patterns (2020, background): “Then, biotic interactions influence which species from the local pool can eventually coexist in the community (Chesson, 2000; Shmida & Ellner, 1984).”
PERFORMANCE TRADE-OFFS AMONG TROPICAL TREE SEEDLINGS IN CONTRASTING MICROHABITATS (2005, background): “The general case of a trade-off between high survival at low resources vs. high growth at high resources can lead to ‘‘nonlinearities’’ in relative fitness that promote coexistence in spatially or temporally heterogeneous environments (Armstrong and McGehee 1980, Chesson 2000).”
Assessing the relative importance of neutral stochasticity in ecological communities (2014, background): “Processes lumped under the umbrella of 'niche' also fall under the umbrella of selection, although in some influential frameworks (Chesson 2000), niche differences include only those that stabilize community dynamics, and not those involving fitness differences leading to competitive exclusion,…”
Hypervolume concepts in niche‐ and trait‐based ecology (2018, background): “Coexistence theory that does not rely on hypervolume niche concepts (Chesson 2000, Letten et al. 2017) may ultimately be more successful.”
Community assembly by limiting similarity vs. competitive hierarchies: testing the consequences of dispersion of individual traits (2014, background): “Journal of Ecology © 2013 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology, 102, 156–166 hierarchies and consequently slow rates of competitive exclusion (Aarssen 1983; Agren & Fagerstr€om 1984; Chesson 2000; Adler, HilleRisLambers & Levine 2007).”
The formation of species pools: historical habitat abundance affects current local diversity (2011, background): “same spatial region (Chesson, 2000), has been a central”
Niche differentiation and expansion of plant species are associated with mycorrhizal symbiosis (2018, background): “Mechanisms of plant coexistence have been in the centre of attention in plant ecology for a long time (Bengtsson, Fagerstram, & Rydin, 1994; Bever et al., 2010; Chesson, 2000; Tilman, 1982).”
Contrasting Relationships between Precipitation and Species Richness in Space and Time (2007, background): “One possibility is that richness increases following very dry years because of environmental cues for growth or germination triggered by particular climate conditions ( Chesson 2000, Crawley 2004).”
High competitiveness of a resource demanding invasive acacia under low resource supply (2009, positive): “Following a current theory of species co-existence (e.g., Chesson 2000), acacia showed higher intraspecific competition while P. pinea exhibited higher interspecific competition in the interaction between these two species indicating that acacia might invade pine stands.”
A hyper‐arid environment shapes an inverse pattern of the fast–slow plant economics spectrum for above‐, but not below‐ground resource acquisition strategies (2018, background): “Second, spatial and temporal environmental-resource heterogeneity has been suggested as a promoter of high trait diversity because it reduces interspecific niche overlap (Adler et al., 2013; Chesson, 2000; Chesson et al., 2004).”
General theory of competitive coexistence in spatially-varying environments. (2000, background): “In other words, species interactions are diffuse (Chesson, 2000 ).”
Niche Breadth: Causes and Consequences for Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation (2020, background): “Trait similarity between species also minimized competitive differences, so Le Bagousse-Pinguet et al. (2014) concluded that “equalizing” mechanisms reduced fitness differences between species and would enable species to persist together through neutral processes (Chesson 2000).”
A framework for priority effects (2016, methodology): “Using Mordecai’s (2011) conceptual diagram that extended Chesson (2000) and Adler et al. (2007), we can see that there are two types of mechanism, destabilizing and equalizing (left hand side of Fig.”
