Early bird catches the worm: germination as a critical step in plant invasion (2016, background): “A capacity for rapid germination is a useful strategy to mitigate the effects of inter-specific competition (Grime et al. 1981; Miller et al. 1994; Dyer et al. 2000; Verdú and Traveset 2005; Dürr et al. 2015), as it can suppress the germination or establishment of later germinating seedlings of…”
The functional role of soil seed banks in natural communities. (2014, background): “Under optimal conditions, during the appropriate germination season, early germination would seem to maximize the fitness of a seed due to longer growth and the resulting higher fecundity (Ross and Harper, 1972; Fowler, 1984; Kelly and Levin, 1997; Dyer et al., 2000; Turkington et al., 2005; Verdù a”
Contingent Conclusions: Year of Initiation Influences Ecological Field Experiments, but Temporal Replication is Rare (2010, background): “…phase for plants is often the critical stage for a wide variety of long-lasting ecological phenomena, including niche differentiation (Grubb 1977; Young et al. 2005), competition (Dyer et al. 2000; Rice & Dyer 2001; Harmon & Stamp 2002), and community structure (Grubb 1977; Stampfli & Zeiter 2004).”
Density dependence in an annual plant community: variation among life history stages (2001, background): “Dyer et al. (2000) found similar density-dependent inhibition in five of seven species of annual grasses native to the Mediterranean, including genera common in our source communities.”
