Can generalist predators be effective biocontrol agents? (2003, background): “Sucking pests are also influenced by crop fertilizer regimes, and there is evidence from other systems (grass-slug-carabid, apple-mite-mite) that generalist predators may not compensate sufficiently for the higher growth rate of the pest population under high fertilizer regimes (25, 236).”
Plant community development is affected by nutrients and soil biota (2004, background): “Generalist herbivores tend to prefer nitrogen-rich, poorly defended plant species (Mattson 1980; White 1984; Buckland & Grime 2000), while nutrient supply can enhance the tolerance of plants to and regrowth after herbivory (Steinger & Müller-Schärer 1992).”
Reconciling plant strategy theories of Grime and Tilman (2005, background): “Even when interpreting patterns from Cedar Creek, Grime considers herbivory to be a factor that excludes fast-growing species from low-nutrient systems (Buckland & Grime 2000; Grime 2001; Burt-Smith et al .”
Biodiversity Regulation of Ecosystem Services (2005, background): “…interconnected food webs, however, the effect of changes in richness of one functional group are less predictable and may affect the abundance of other species or the richness of other functional groups through a complex set of direct and indirect interactions (e.g., Buckland and Grime 2000).”
The interaction between predation and competition: a review and synthesis (2002, background): “…of competition, and in some cases the interaction between competition and predation, that incorporate more realistic assumptions (e.g. Slatkin 1974; Caswell 1978; Durrett & Levin 1994; Chase 1999; Connolly & Roughgarden 1999; Claessen et al. 2000; Diehl & Feissel 2000; Mylius et al. 2001; Shurin &…”
Dispersion of traits related to competitive ability in an old‐field plant community (2007, background): “Grime (2006) contends that traits related to competition should be under-dispersed, as species with traits conferring relatively poor competitive ability will be competitively excluded in fertile/productive habitats ( Buckland & Grime 1996 ).”
