Common and rare species respond to similar niche processes in macroinvertebrate metacommunities (2012, background): “Th ere is a striking parallel between these two categories and current models proposed to explain variation in the composition of metacommunities (Leibold and McPeek 2006).”
Deterministic selection dominates microbial community assembly in termite mounds (2020, background): “, different nutrition requirements), which allows them to occupy different niches and to differentiate limited resources within the ecosystem [6, 7].”
Network isolation and local diversity in neutral metacommunities (2010, background): “It resides at one extreme in a continuum of metacommunity models that vary in their emphasis on the importance of niche differences, species interactions, and stochastic spatial effects on shaping ecological communities (Leibold et al. 2004, Alonso et al. 2006, Leibold and McPeek 2006).”
A neutral‐niche theory of nestedness in mutualistic networks (2008, result): “Our results support the hypothesis that both neutral and niche based processes shape the community (Leibold and McPeek 2005), and point that assessing their relative contributions to community assembly will be a future challenge.”
Opposing effects of competitive exclusion on the phylogenetic structure of communities. (2010, background): “…theory to provide an ecological explanation for why more distantly related competitors may be less likely to coexist (Harper et al. 1961; Losos 1994; Duncan & Williams 2002; Tofts & Silvertown 2002; Davies 2006; Leibold & McPeek 2006; Slingsby & Verboom 2006; Cahill et al. 2008; Diez et al. 2008).”
Biodiversity and Climate Change: Integrating Evolutionary and Ecological Responses of Species and Communities (2010, background): “We do not aim to develop an exhaustive review of how species geographic ranges and ecological communities are set by niche evolution or interspecific interactions—these topics have been in part reviewed elsewhere (e.g., Leibold & McPeek 2006, Post & Palkovacs 2009, Sexton et al. 2009).”
Environmental correlates of plant and invertebrate species richness in ponds (2011, background): “Concepts such as niche overlap (Leibold and McPeek 2006), habitat heterogeneity (both temporal and spatial) (Tews et al. 2004) and area (Lomolino 2000) can be quantified and manipulated experimentally to investigate within and between habitat richness.”
How to make more out of community data? A conceptual framework and its implementation as models and software. (2017, background): “…local species communities are a result of both stochastic and deterministic processes, henceforth called assembly processes (Gravel et al. 2006; Leibold & McPeek 2006; Stokes & 1Department of Biosciences, University of Helsinki, P.O. Box 65, Helsinki FI00014, Finland 2Department of Biology,…”
