Global shifts towards positive species interactions with increasing environmental stress. (2013, methodology): “To minimise the influence of differences in stress-gradient length among subsets (Lortie & Callaway 2006; Callaway 2007), the 999 bootstrap samples were generated by resampling with equal probability for every 0.”
A role for below‐ground biota in plant–plant facilitation (2013, background): “This indirect mechanism of facilitation by below-ground biota has, to our knowledge, not been shown before, although its existence in desert soils had been hypothesized (Sarig, Barness & Steinberger 1994; Callaway 2007).”
Accurate predictions of coexistence in natural systems require the inclusion of facilitative interactions and environmental dependency (2018, positive): “…intra‐ and interspecific facilitation was consistent with a growing literature on the prevalence of facilitative interactions in natural communities (Callaway, 2007) and highlights the need for novel approaches to modelling coexistence in systems where local facilitation is common (Bruno et al.,…”
Shedding light on shade: ecological perspectives of understorey plant life (2016, background): “Thus, plant cover can have detrimental effects on seedling recruitment (Pérez-Ramos et al. 2008) despite the many beneficial effects of a plant cover for seedling recruitment (see a revision in Callaway 2007).”
Positive interactions can increase size inequality in plant populations (2009, background): “Based on current understanding of facilitation, we assume facilitation only occurs when there is stress (s > 0), and it acts to ameliorate the negative effects of stress on plant performance (Callaway 2007).”
The evolution of facilitation and mutualism (2009, background): “Costs of facilitation have receivedmuch less attention (but see Callaway 2007).”
The role of plant interactions in the restoration of degraded ecosystems: a meta‐analysis across life‐forms and ecosystems (2009, background): “However, the renewed interest in positive plant interactions in mainstream ecology and the accumulating evidence of facilitation as the dominant interaction in many situations (Callaway 2007; Brooker et al. 2008) have initiated a change in the practice of restoration towards a better awareness of th”
Partitioning net interactions among plants along altitudinal gradients to study community responses to climate change (2014, background): “…effect of a species is likely to incorporate some component of competition in the balance of interaction mechanisms, and a net competitive effect will also probably include at least some underlying facilitative components in the mix (Hunter & Aarssen 1988; Kikvidze et al. 2001; Callaway 2007).”
Under strong niche overlap conspecifics do not compete but help each other to survive: facilitation at the intraspecific level (2010, background): “Although myriad studies have supported the SGH (e.g. Brooker & Callaghan 1998; Choler, Michalet & Callaway 2001; Holzapfel et al. 2006; Callaway 2007), Maestre, Valladares & Reynolds (2005) showed that this process formulation is by no means a general pattern, particularly in water-stressed conditio”
Positive effect of shade on plant growth: amelioration of stress or active regulation of growth rate? (2012, methodology): “In our study, plants were grown under ambient atmospheric conditions, and the shading cloths modified not only irradiance levels but also wind speed, air temperature and humidity, which are all known to be modified by vegetation shade (Callaway 2007).”
Plant–plant interactions in tropical alpine environments (2012, positive): “In addition, positive associations at intraspecific level, between adults and juveniles, were reported in both the Andes (Smith, 1981, 1984) and East Africa (Smith and Young, 1994), sustaining indirect facilitation (Callaway, 2007), i.”
Parasitic plants as facilitators: more Dryad than Dracula? (2009, background): “Experimental and observational data from multiple systems demonstrate effects of parasitic plants that are consistent with facilitation (see Callaway 2007), and are comparable to the influence of nitrogen fixing plants for N (May & Attiwell 2003), with even more pronounced effects with other…”
Inferring community assembly mechanisms from functional diversity patterns: the importance of multiple assembly processes (2012, background): “While this pattern is also consistent with increased facilitation in stressful environment (Callaway et al. 2002; Callaway 2007), resource partitioning mechanisms seem more likely given that the traits largely characterize differences in resource acquisition strate658 M.”
Positive associations between the cushion plant Arenaria polytrichoides (Caryophyllaceae) and other alpine plant species increase with altitude in the Sino-Himalayas (2010, background): “The ameliorative effects of nurse plants typically include increased soil moisture, protection against herbivores and greater availability of nutrients (Callaway 2007).”
Strong facilitation in mild environments: the stress gradient hypothesis revisited (2010, background): “While numerous forms of facilitation are widespread across the plant and animal kingdoms, a particularly large number of studies address this type of facilitation in plant communities (Callaway 2007).”
Facilitation in plant communities: the past, the present, and the future (2007, background): “…other than resource uptake ability (such as the production of allelopathic chemicals) may create such species-specific interactions, and thus non-transitive interaction networks and indirect interactions (Pagès et al. 2003; Callaway & Howard 2006; Kunstler et al. 2006; Callaway 2007).”
Facilitation and the niche: implications for coexistence, range shifts and ecosystem functioning (2016, background): “Yet, despite substantial advances in our understanding of the mechanisms controlling switches in the intensity and direction of species interactions (Bertness & Callaway 1994; Stachowicz 2001; Callaway 2007), formal inclusion of positive species interactions into broad theories of community structur”
Positive effects of shrubs on plant species diversity do not change along a gradient in grazing pressure in an arid shrubland (2012, background): “The higher utrient content beneath the canopies of both Eremophila and enna likely resulted from a combination of lower radiation, ncreased soil moisture and infiltration rates, greater throughall nutrient content, and animal defecation on and beneath the hrubs (Callaway 2007).”
