Testing the roles of competition, facilitation and stochasticity on community structure in a species‐rich assemblage (2014, background): “…of positive interactions on community structure: they seem to increase species richness in some cases (Valiente-Banuet et al., 2006; Bruno, Stachowicz & Bertness 2003; Cavieres & Badano 2009), but also tend to destabilize communities and thus lead to species extinction (May 1973; Butterfield 2009).”
Bioengineer effects on understory species richness, diversity, and composition change along an environmental stress gradient: Experimental and mensurative evidence (2013, background): “Thus, the findings of this study challenge the extended concept that bioengineer species normally enhance local richness and diversity (Wright et al., 2002; Lill and Marquis, 2003; Castilla et al., 2004; Bangert and Slobodchikoff, 2006; Borthagaray and Carranza, 2007; Buse et al., 2008; Bouma et al.”
Global shifts towards positive species interactions with increasing environmental stress. (2013, background): “For example, in contrast with negative species interactions that can drive species extinctions (Sax & Gaines 2008) and diversity loss (Hautier et al. 2009), positive interactions can maintain diversity in harsh environments where species often rely on each other to persist (Cavieres & Badano 2009).”
Facilitation in communities: underlying mechanisms, community and ecosystem implications (2016, background): “The role of facilitation in community diversity is one of the best known implications of facilitation (Hacker & Gaines 1997; Pugnaire & L azaro 2000; Bruno, Stachowicz & Bertness 2003; Michalet et al. 2006; Cavieres & Badano 2009).”
Uncovering multiscale effects of aridity and biotic interactions on the functional structure of Mediterranean shrublands (2013, background): “This pattern could be interpreted as a sign of facilitation among species, as facilitation commonly occurs in closed spatial associations of species with contrasted trait values (Cavieres & Badano 2009).”
Extreme weather events and plant–plant interactions: shifts between competition and facilitation among grassland species in the face of drought and heavy rainfall (2014, background): “Biotic interactions play a key role in the function and structure of ecosystems, influencing the provision of ecosystem services and patterns of biodiversity (Hillebrand et al. 2008; Cavieres and Badano 2009; Schweiger et al. 2010).”
Plant–plant interactions in tropical alpine environments (2012, unknown): “Positive plant–plant interactions therefore play a central role in the assemblage, evolution, and productivity of plant communities of these ecosystems (Badano and Marquet, 2009; Cavieres and Badano, 2009; Michalet et al., 2011), even though their role has also been reported to be highly variable (D”
Partitioning net interactions among plants along altitudinal gradients to study community responses to climate change (2014, background): “In contrast, most xeric communities have patchy vegetation cover with a mosaic of vegetated patches and natural open areas (Aguiar & Sala 1999; Cavieres & Badano 2009).”
Survival and reproduction of plant species in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (2014, background): “Both general and idiosyncratic positive effects of cushion species on species richness, diversity, and evenness have also been recorded in assessments of 8 and 11 communities dominated by cushion species in the high Andes by Badano & Cavieres (2006) and Cavieres & Badano (2009), respectively.”
Competition increases with abiotic stress and regulates the diversity of biological soil crusts (2010, background): “…proliferation of research on the SGH, very few studies have empirically examined the influence of community-level biotic interactions as a driver of species richness at the entire community level along abiotic stress gradients (Hacker & Gaines 1997; Kikvidze et al. 2005; Cavieres & Badano 2009).”
