FIRE GENERATES SPATIAL GRADIENTS IN HERBIVORY: AN EXAMPLE FROM A FLORIDA SANDHILL ECOSYSTEM (2005, background): “Disturbances influence the structure and function of many communities (Petraitis et al. 1989, Shea et al. 2004).”
Pesticide-Induced Stress in Arthropod Pests for Optimized Integrated Pest Management Programs. (2016, result): “These findings lend credence to the intermediate disturbance hypothesis, which predicts that under intermediate levels of environmental disturbance species diversity is increased in proportion to the reduction of the competitively dominant species (30, 118).”
Stacked Crop Rotations Exploit Weed-Weed Competition for Sustainable Weed Management (2014, background): “…mechanisms of coexistence (Miller and Chesson 2009) and the importance of considering multiple aspects of the disturbance regime such as intensity, frequency, and timing (i.e., seasonality) (Miller et al. 2011; Miller et al. 2012a,b; Roxburgh et al. 2004; Shea et al. 2004; Zhang and Shea 2012).”
Effects of disturbance on the diversity of hard-bottom macrobenthic communities on the coast of Chile (2005, background): “Disturbance was defined as an event that changes niche opportunities (Shea et al. 2004), i.e. removal of biomass to free up resources for other organisms (Grime 1977).”
Tree–grass coexistence in the Brazilian cerrado: demographic consequences of environmental instability (2006, background): “…can all be interpreted within the common framework of the storage effect, and there is no reason to suggest that these different articulations of the same mechanism (exploitation of randomly produced favourable periods) cannot act in concert to promote tree–grass coexistence (Shea et al., 2004).”
Alterations of Steppe‐Like Grasslands in Eastern Europe: a Threat to Regional Biodiversity Hotspots (2005, background): “The high species diversity of grasslands has been explained by the intermediate disturbance hypothesis (Wilson & Tilman 2002; Li et al. 2004; Shea et al. 2004).”
Community composition, diversity and metabolic footprints of soil nematodes in differently-aged temperate forests (2015, background): “Shea et al. (2004) thought that only when ecological disturbance was neither too rare nor too frequent, species diversity was maximized.”
