Effects of altered precipitation on insect community composition and structure in a meadow steppe (2014, background): “To date, a strong focus has been placed on changes in community dynamics as a result of climate change (Adler & Levine, 2007; Villalpando et al., 2009; Yang et al., 2011).”
Ecological effects of extreme drought on Californian herbaceous plant communities (2016, background): “Interannual rainfall variability produces time- lagged and weaker effects on plant productivity, species richness, and species composition in comparison with geographic gradients (Adler and Levine 2007, Sala et al. 2012, Cleland et al. 2013, Pierre et al. 2016).”
Mammalian Response to Cenozoic Climatic Change (2009, background): “Modern studies of mammalian community structure and beta diversity are yielding insights about the underlying controls on functional turnover such as productivity, lineage effects, and the role of climate in fossil systems (Adler & Levine 2007).”
Space can substitute for time in predicting climate-change effects on biodiversity (2013, result): “This discrepancy mirrors that found by Adler and Levine (18) in their test of space-for-time substitution on much shorter time scales.”
Rainfall effects on rare annual plants (2008, background): “…systems, where water is known to be a limiting factor, wet years may ease water limitation of vital rates such as survival and fecundity, whereas dry years may not even provide the water resources necessary for successful completion of the life cycle (Gutierrez & Meserve 2003; Adler & Levine 2007).”
