• How plant life-history and ecological traits relate to species rarity and commonness at varying spatial scales (2002, background): “The relationship between seed size and abundance within local plant communities was explored in four studies (Table 2); in two of these it was reported that rare species had larger seeds than common species (Rees 1995; Guo et al. 2000), and in another it was reported that four rare species had small”
• Fish movement and habitat use depends on water body size and shape (2009, background): “Home range is a continuous function of water body size rather than the ‘triangular envelope’ (Guo et al. 2000), that might be imposed by simple, logical upper limits due to shape and allometry.”
• Colonization, tolerance, competition and seed-size variation within functional groups (2003, background): “reach that limit (another ‘triangular’ relationship, this time between plant size and local crowding) [ 34 ].”
• Invasive species grows faster, competes better, and shows greater evolution toward increased seed size and growth than exotic non-invasive congeners (2012, background): “…effects on the distribution and abundance of plant species in native systems (Brooker et al. 2005; Pennings and Callaway 1992) and similar effects might be found in the context of exotic replacement of natives during invasion (He et al. 2003, 2009; Skálová and Pyšek 2009; Vilà and Weiner 2004).”
• Spatial-temporal population dynamics across species range: from centre to margin (2005, background): “However, empirical evidence suggests that populations with different mobility (or dispersal powers) have different mechanisms regulating population density below or approaching the carrying capacity across the species’ range (Lidicker 1962, Grant 1978, Guo et al. 2000).”
