Ips typographus population development after a severe storm in a nature reserve in southern Sweden (2011, background): “One would have expected a lower colonization percentage and density in Osaby because of consumer satiation caused by the much larger quantity of wind-felled trees (see Begon et al. 2006).”
Co‐occurrence patterns of trees along macro‐climatic gradients and their potential influence on the present and future distribution of Fagus sylvatica L. (2011, background): “…soil nutrients, soil moisture or space may result in a reduction of the above- and below-ground growth or abundance of species in co-existence, or it may even act as a filter for determining whether a species may or may not become established in a given community (Grime, 1979; Begon et al., 2006).”
Climate change causes rapid changes in the distribution and site abundance of birds in winter (2008, background): “In other ecological systems, particularly those in which species are spatially segregated, it has long been known that it is common for species to be limited by environmental factors at one extremity, but by biological interactions at the other (Connell, 1983; Begon et al., 2005).”
Why history matters in ecology: an interdisciplinary perspective (2010, background): “‘Ecology’ is also used in a broad sense, meaning ‘the scientific study of the distribution and abundance of organisms and the interactions that determine distribution and abundance’ (Begon et al. 2006), which, for the purposes of this paper, I understand as basic ecology, ‘an extremely broad science”
Current Usage of Symbiosis and Associated Terminology (2012, background): “…Heller, and Berenbaum (2011), and Solomon, Berg, and Martin (2011), while GE textbooks included Krohne (2001), Bush (2003), Odum and Barrett (2005), Begon, Townsend, and Harper (2006), Ricklefs (2008), Krebs (2009), Sharma (2009), Smith and Smith (2009), Molles (2010) and Miller and Spoolman…”
Distribution pattern of trees along an elevation gradient of Eastern Himalaya, India (2011, unknown): “Pinaceae have better regeneration potential compared to other tree species and are less likely to get affected by herbivores (Begon et al., 2006).”
Remote video-camera traps measure habitat use and competitive exclusion among sympatric chimpanzee, gorilla and elephant in Loango National Park, Gabon (2012, background): “Animal species that live in sympatry and have a similar diet are assumed to have evolved speciesspecific adaptations to coexist (Begon et al. 2006, Krebs 2009).”
Interactive effects of metal pollution and temperature on metabolism in aquatic ectotherms: implications of global climate change (2008, background): “…components of aquatic food chains, spanning the range of ecological functions from primary producers to top-level consumers (Willmer et al. 2000, Begon et al. 2006); therefore, changes in population abundance and dynamics of these species due to global climate change will have profound ‘ripple’…”
Reproductive Interference Between Animal Species (2008, background): “Consequently, this topic is missing even in modern ecology textbooks (Begon et al. 2005).”
Light, nutrients and grazing interact to determine diatom species richness via changes to productivity, nutrient state and grazer activity (2009, background): “Grazing did not decrease algal biomass in our experiment, possibly because indirect positive effects of grazers on algal productivity compensated for the ingested algal biomass (Liess & Hillebrand 2004) or because space was cleared for colonization by other species that were not preferred food speci”
The Ecological Niche: History and Recent Controversies (2015, background): “Although some later commentators (e.g. Whittaker et al. 1973 ), and specifi cally textbooks authors (e.g. Ricklefs 1979 : 242; Krebs 1992 : 245; Begon et al. 2009 : 31), have forced the distinction between Grinnell’s and Elton’s concepts, by respectively renaming them “habitat niche” and…”
Attached Algae: The Cryptic Base of Inverted Trophic Pyramids in Freshwaters (2017, background): “…Webs 259 Heterocyte (aka heterocyst): a specialized, structurally distinct, nitrogen-fixing cell in cyanobacteria colonies that maintains a low oxygen microenvironment to protect the nitrogenase enzyme Time: a resource, in the sense of Begon et al. (2006), in that it can be used up by an organism”
