• Biogeographical patterns of plants in the Neotropics – dispersal rather than plate tectonics is most explanatory (2013, neutral): “Hubbell SP. 2001.”
• Predicting impacts of climate change on biodiversity: a role for semi‐mechanistic community‐level modelling (2011, background): “Existing mechanistic approaches include metacommunity theory (Mouquet et al., 2006), food web theory (Cohen et al., 2003), neutral theory (Hubbell, 2001), metabolic theory of ecology (Brown et al., 2004) and trait-based community assembly theory (Keddy, 1992; see Appendix S1 in the Supporting…”
• Microbes as Engines of Ecosystem Function: When Does Community Structure Enhance Predictions of Ecosystem Processes? (2016, background): “For example, stochastic assembly processes (Hubbell, 2001; Rosindell et al., 2011; Stegen et al., 2012; Nemergut et al., 2013), phenotypic plasticity (DeWitt et al., 1998), and priority effects (Fukami, 2004; Fukami et al., 2010) can decouple microbial community structure from environmental…”
• Spatial scale resolves the niche versus neutral theory debate (2014, background): “…towards a more mature quantitative science in the 1970s (e.g. Diamond 1975 vs Connor & Simberloff 1979) and flared again in its most recent iteration as the ‘niche vs neutral’ debate as the field has become increasingly more quantitatively sophisticated (e.g. Hubbell 2001 vs Chase & Leibold 2003).”
• Species contribute differently to the taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic alpha and beta diversity of freshwater fish communities (2014, background): “interactions and biogeographic history (Hubbell, 2001; Condit et al., 2002; Graham et al., 2006).”
