Plant communities of the ironstone ranges of South Western Australia: hotspots for plant diversity and mineral deposits (2010, background): “However, at a finer spatial scale the environmental control model appears to break down with adjacent BIF ranges displaying significant changeover in species composition, more in keeping with expectations under neutral model theory ( Hubbell 2001 ).”
Explaining the global biodiversity gradient: energy, area, history and natural selection (2004, background): “I will argue that a dynamic theory working ‘‘bottom up’’ from Hubbell’s neutral theory (Hubbell, 2001) provides a very satisfying way of considering the various candidate mechanisms and suggests novel ways of testing some of them.”
A Spatially Explicit Neutral Model of β-Diversity in Tropical Forests (2002, background): “Theoreticians have extended this type of model to various other dispersal kernels (Durrett and Levin, 1996; Hubbell, 2001; Chave et al., 2002).”
The metacommunity concept: a framework for multi-scale community ecology (2004, background): “recognized, however, that other ecological processes involving species interactions occur at other scales (Wiens 1989; Levin 1992; Holt 1993; Maurer 1999; Hubbell 2001 ).”
The distance decay of similarity in ecological communities (2007, neutral): “(Hubbell 2001), community similarity decays with”
Towards a solution of the plankton paradox : the importance of physiology and life history (2001, background): “Instead, neutral coexistence (sensu Hubbell 2001 ) was widespread.”
Reconciling niche and neutrality: the continuum hypothesis. (2006, methodology): “The processes of the neutral model are birth, death, dispersal and speciation ( Hubbell 2001 ).”
