Tree species diversity and vegetation structure in shade coffee farms in Veracruz, Mexico (2008, background): “shade coffee farms (Mayfield et al., 2005).”
Functional diversity responses to changing species richness in reef fish communities (2008, background): “Empirical tests of the theory have produced conflicting outcomes, both con- firming (Stevens et al. 2003, Mayfield et al. 2005) and contradicting (Micheli & Halpern 2005) the theoretical predictions.”
Functional attributes change but functional richness is unchanged after fragmentation of Brazilian Atlantic forests (2014, background): “2007) or the number of functional groups observed per plot (Mayfield et al. 2005), to infer that communities have significantly lower functionality in fragments than in intact tropical forests (see Metzger 2000; Tabarelli & Peres 2002; Mayfield et al.”
Disturbance is the principal α‐scale filter determining niche differentiation, coexistence and biodiversity in an alpine community (2007, background): “Although large-scale disturbances such as indiscriminate forest clearance may have negative impacts on species richness and community complexity ( Mayfield et al . 2005 ), small-scale disturbances are varied in both character and timing, creating diverse opportunities for establishment, growth and r”
Topography related habitat associations of tree species traits, composition and diversity in a Chinese tropical forest (2014, background): “Previous studies show that the relationship between species and functional trait diversity can differ considerably (Diaz and Cabido, 2001; Naeem and Wright, 2003; Mayfield et al., 2005).”
Using plant functional traits to explain community composition across a strong environmental filter in Australian alpine snowpatches (2011, methodology): “Typically, the trait-based community assembly approach is used at regional scales to describe vegetation patterns and impacts of land-use (Cornwell and Ackerly 2009; Mayfield et al. 2005).”
Opposing effects of competitive exclusion on the phylogenetic structure of communities. (2010, background): “For example, phylogenetic clustering suggests that environmental filtering is stronger than competitive exclusion in determining community membership (Webb et al. 2002; Mayfield et al. 2005; Cavender-Bares et al. 2009).”
Measuring biodiversity to explain community assembly: a unified approach (2011, background): “These studies focused, for example, on yeasts (Anderson, Lachance & Starmer, 2004), grasslands (Fukami et al., 2005; Mayfield et al., 2005), herb-layer plants (Gerhold et al.”
Beyond species: functional diversity and the maintenance of ecological processes and services (2011, background): “Comparing forested and deforested (heavily disturbed) sites, Mayfield et al. (2005) found that functional richness for certain traits increased more rapidly with species addition in forested areas, but this trend was reversed for other functional traits.”
Little evidence for limiting similarity in a long‐term study of a roadside plant community (2010, methodology): “Consistent with the effect on the null model of failing to account for species’ rarity, four recent studies that do not appear to control for species’ relative abundance in their null model find lower than expected FD (Fukami et al. 2005;Mayfield et al. 2005; Cornwell, Schwilk & Ackerly 2006; Petche”
Effects of human‐modified landscapes on taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic dimensions of bat biodiversity (2015, background): “Few studies have explored the influences of human-modified landscapes on FD or PD (Tscharntke et al., 2012), most of which have focused on plant assemblages (Mayfield et al., 2005, 2006; Lalibert e et al., 2010; Arroyo-Rodr ıguez et al., 2012).”
