Vertical Vegetation Structure Below Ground: Scaling from Root to Globe (2005, background): “Theoretically, phylogeny may play a role in structuring communities, but there is currently a lack of evidence to support such a role (Silvertown et al. 2001), and therefore no way to scale up from species-specific”
Trade‐offs in community ecology: linking spatial scales and species coexistence (2004, background): “To better understand the nature of these trade-offs in structuring this community, Silvertown et al. (2001) calculated niche overlap among all 64 species and compared the pattern of overlap at different taxonomic levels to determine where niche differentiation occurred.”
Ecophysiological determinants of plant performance under flooding: a comparative study of seven plant families (2006, background): “Furthermore ecophysiological traits may be phylogenetically constrained (van Groenendael et al. 1996; Silvertown et al. 2001) and trait variation (or the lack of it) may be taxon specific.”
Measuring ecological niche overlap from occurrence and spatial environmental data (2012, background): “Further, changes in the climatic tolerances and requirements of species accompany the diversification of lineages in a variety of taxa (e.g. Silvertown et al., 2001; Losos et al., 2003; Yesson & Culham, 2006; Evans et al., 2009).”
Plant coexistence and the niche (2004, methodology): “The figure is reproduced, with permission, from [ 73 ].”
Trade-off between root nitrogen acquisition and shoot nitrogen utilization across 13 co-occurring pasture grass species (2009, methodology): “We used data from Silvertown et al. (2001) completed with two additional papers (which included E. repens and F. arundinacea, Charmet et al. 1997 and Mason-Gamer 2008), to test whether relatedness (the between species distance within the phylogeny tree) explains individual root traits variations.”
Integrating micro- and macroevolutionary processes in community ecology (2003, background): “In a related study on meadow communities in Great Britain, Silvertown et al. (2001) found that patterns of both attraction and repulsion emerged, but at different phylogenetic scales.”
Local adaptation of the clonal plant Ranunculus reptans to flooding along a small‐scale gradient (2004, background): “Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology , 92 , 696‐706 flooding is an important selection pressure on plants ( Silvertown et al . 2001 ).”
Phylogenies and Community Ecology (2002, methodology): “Using the same methods, comparing just the species within a genus, they found a few cases of segregation of species, some cases with random overlap, and some examples of higher than expected niche overlap (Silvertown et al. 2001).”
