The state of plant population modelling in light of environmental change (2008, background): “Porcher and Lande, 2005), the causes of complex dynamics, such as cycles and chaos, in plant populations (e.g. Bauer et al., 2002; Freckleton and Watkinson, 2002; Gonzalez-Andujar et al., 2006; Logofet et al., 2006; Pastor and Durkee Walker, 2006), and, as a primarily applied topic, species persiste”
Dispersal potential in plant communities depends on environmental conditions (2004, background): “Given a certain set of environmental conditions, the community composition at a site is influenced by both the rates of local extinction and the rates of colonization from the species pool (e.g. Freckleton & Watkinson 2002 ).”
Dispersal traits determine plant response to habitat connectivity in an urban landscape (2011, background): “These discrepancies may to some extent be explained by differences in methodology (Freckleton and Watkinson 2002; Tremlová and Münzbergová 2007).”
Long‐term assessment of seed limitation in plants: results from an 11‐year experiment (2006, background): “Assessments of the factors limiting distributions are particularly problematic in plants that do not have easily identified habitat niches (Freckleton & Watkinson 2002).”
Metapopulations and metacommunities: combining spatial and temporal perspectives in plant ecology (2012, background): “…be challenging, leading to considerable discussion in the literature (metapopulations: Eriksson 1996; Husband & Barrett 1996; Bullock et al. 2002; Freckleton & Watkinson 2002; Ehrlén & Eriksson 2003; Freckleton & Watkinson 2003; Pannell & Obbard 2003; Ouborg & Eriksson 2004; metacommunities:…”
Effects of long‐distance dispersal for metapopulation survival and genetic structure at ecological time and spatial scales (2005, background): “Husband & Barrett 1996; Freckleton & Watkinson 2002; Levin et al . 2003) because it determines the rate of population spread (Kot et al . 1996; Clark 1998; Neubert & Caswell 2000), colonization of remote sites (Kawasaki et al . 1997; Eriksson 1996, 2000) and species survival in patchy landscapes (”
Seed dispersal by a frugivorous marsupial shapes the spatial scale of a mistletoe population (2009, background): “Seed dispersal may affect the distribution of recruitment within populations (Schupp & Fuentes 1995; García et al. 2005), the total area occupied by a plant population or metapopulation (Freckleton & Watkinson 2002; Purves & Dushoff 2005), and the geographical range of a species (Nathan 2006).”
Traits related to species persistence and dispersal explain changes in plant communities subjected to habitat loss (2012, background): “…perspectives in ecological theory, the directions of the observed responses suggest that both stochastic regional processes related to dispersal and local processes contribute in determining large-scale spatial dynamics of plants (see also Freckleton & Watkinson, 2002; Römermann et al., 2008).”
Habitat fragmentation reduces grassland connectivity for both short‐distance and long‐distance wind‐dispersed forbs (2005, background): “Freckleton & Watkinson 2002; Ehrlen & Eriksson 2003; Ouborg & Eriksson 2004), very few studies have quantified them.”
Integrating species distribution models and interacting particle systems to predict the spread of an invasive alien plant (2010, background): “However, plants rarely seem to be organized as metapopulations (Freckleton & Watkinson, 2002).”
Seed limitation and the regulation of community structure in oak savanna grassland (2003, neutral): “1999; Freckleton & Watkinson 2002).”
Colonization and persistence ability explain the extent to which plant species fill their potential range (2007, background): “It has been criticized that many studies claiming the existence of plant metapopulations failed to demonstrate that potential habitat is patchily distributed, that local populations go extinct and that empty patches are (re-)colonized ( Freckleton & Watkinson, 2002 ).”
Plant fecundity and seed dispersal in spatially heterogeneous environments: models, mechanisms and estimation (2008, background): “For instance, it is obvious that the local environment experienced by a plant can affect its seed production and can thus have a source effect on fecundity (e.g. Crawley 1997).”
Non‐random seed abscission, long‐distance wind dispersal and plant migration rates (2008, background): “As such, long-distance dispersal (LDD) of propagules is crucial in metapopulations and other forms of spatial dynamics (Hanski 1998; Nathan & Muller-Landau 2000; Freckleton & Watkinson 2002; Higgins & Cain 2002; Soons et al .”
