Testing the ability of functional diversity indices to detect trait convergence and divergence using individual‐based simulation (2016, background): “The most important such processes are asymmetric competition (Mayfield & Levine 2010) and dispersal limitation (M€unkem€uller et al. 2012).”
Challenges in linking trait patterns to niche differentiation (2016, background): “data, including phylogenetic dispersion (Mayfield and Levine 2010), variations in species composition through time (McGill et al.”
A general framework for quantitatively assessing ecological stochasticity (2019, methodology): “However, competition could also cause communities to be more similar if competitive exclusion could eliminate more different and less related species which lack certain competitive traits (30, 31).”
Which trait dissimilarity for functional diversity: trait means or trait overlap? (2013, methodology): “As for taxonomical and phylogenetic diversity, many indices have been proposed to estimate functional diversity, each showing different properties (Mouchet et al. 2010; Schleuter et al. 2010; Pavoine & Bonsall 2011).”
Facilitation and the niche: implications for coexistence, range shifts and ecosystem functioning (2016, background): “Coexistence is, thus, dependent on the relative strength of these two forces (Chesson 2000a; Adler, HilleRisLambers & Levine 2007; Mayfield & Levine 2010).”
Scaling from Traits to Ecosystems: Developing a General Trait Driver Theory via Integrating Trait-Based and Metabolic Scaling Theories (2015, background): “Thus, TDT is consistent with a competitive trait hierarchy view of assemblage interactions (Freckleton and Watkinson, 2001; Goldberg and Landa, 1991; Kunstler et al., 2012; Mayfield and Levine, 2010) as well as a population source–sink view of assemblage (Pulliam, 1988) and metapopulation perspectiv”
Are urban systems beneficial, detrimental, or indifferent for biological invasion? (2017, background): “…and diversity (Funk et al. 2008; Li et al. 2015; MacDougall et al. 2009; Pokorny et al. 2005), though this is not universally true since a distantly related NIS might possess a unique suite of traits that better equip them to compete for resources (Mayfield and Levine 2010; Strauss et al. 2006).”
Aridity preferences alter the relative importance of abiotic and biotic drivers on plant species abundance in global drylands (2018, background): “Indeed, previous studies have focused on how plant-plant interactions and abiotic factors will interact to affect plant species abundance and diversity in the future (e.g., Michalet et al. 2006; Holmgren & Scheffer 2010; Soliveres & Maestre 2014; Butterfield & Munson 2016).”
Root-colonizing and soil-borne communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in a temperate forest understorey1 (2014, background): “Recent theoretical work has questioned the assumption that competitive exclusion necessarily results in overdispersion and has argued that under certain conditions it may produce the type of clustered pattern we observed in our data (Mayfield and Levine 2010).”
Using trait and phylogenetic diversity to evaluate the generality of the stress‐dominance hypothesis in eastern North American tree communities (2014, background): “Competition can have opposite effects on traits related to niche differences versus traits related to competitive ability (Mayfield and Levine 2010).”
Biodiversity of Palaearctic grasslands: a synthesis (2014, background): “(i) Mayfield and Levine (2010) argue that, contrary to common assumption, competition under certain circumstances even favours the co-existence of species with similar”
Hierarchical effects of environmental filters on the functional structure of plant communities: a case study in the French Alps (2013, background): “The results would then support the view that in more productive conditions species coexistence could be partially achieved by an increase in the functional similarity between species, instead of niche differences (Mayfield and Levine 2010).”
Rethinking Community Assembly through the Lens of Coexistence Theory (2012, background): “…and Adler et al. (2006, 2009) combined demographic analyses with simulation modeling to demonstrate that a “storage effect” (likely mediated through climate) operated to foster diversity in a prairie community but not in a sagebrush steppe (Adler et al. 2006, 2009; McCarthy-Neumann & Kobe 2010).”
Regeneration: an overlooked aspect of trait‐based plant community assembly models (2016, background): “…complicated by the fact that multiple mechanisms could lead to trait convergence (e.g. abiotic filtering or competitive hierarchies) or trait divergence (e.g. competition driving limiting similarity, abiotic filtering driving divergent ecological strategies or facilitation, Mayfield & Levine 2010).”
