Species richness of vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens in dry grasslands: The effects of environment, landscape structure and competition (2006, background): “ZOBEL et al. (2000) suggest that the effects of dispersal limitation depend on whether the local species pool is already impoverished or not.”
Seed dispersal patterns produced by white‐faced monkeys: implications for the dispersal limitation of neotropical tree species (2003, background): “C E B U S One of the major factors thought to contribute to tree species coexistence is the failure of seeds to arrive at potential recruitment sites (Tilman 1994; Hurtt & Pacala 1995; Pacala & Levin 1997; Zobel et al. 2000).”
Interactive effects of soil moisture, vegetation canopy, plant litter and seed addition on plant diversity in a wetland community (2003, background): “Thus, the community was not species-saturated and is likely to be enriched by introduction or immigration of species (Cornell & Lawton 1992; Zobel et al. 2000; Levine 2001).”
Impact of different-sized herbivores on recruitment opportunities for subordinate herbs in grasslands (2003, background): “In unproductive habitats regeneration niches seem not to be limiting (van der Maarel & Sykes 1993; Zobel et al. 2000).”
Seed addition experiments are more likely to increase recruitment in larger‐seeded species (2002, methodology): “Data from seed addition experiments were taken from Turnbull et al. (2000), plus Zobel et al. (2000); the only paper published between 1999 and the time of writing that met the criteria set out in Turnbull et al. 2000).”
FERN COMMUNITY ASSEMBLY: THE ROLES OF CHANCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT AT LOCAL AND INTERMEDIATE SCALES (2005, background): “In terms of local distribution and abundance, any role of dispersal limitation has generally been discounted because of the high vagility of airborne fern spores (Zobel et al. 2000).”
Propagule pools mediate community assembly and diversity‐ecosystem regulation along a grassland productivity gradient (2004, background): “Journal of Ecology 2004 92 , 435–449 © 2004 British Ecological Society Blackwell Publishing, Ltd.Propagule pools mediate community assembly and diversity-ecosystem regulation along a grassland productivity gradient”
Regeneration: an overlooked aspect of trait‐based plant community assembly models (2016, background): “…the influence of regeneration processes on community assembly typically relies on measurements of seed and seedling abundances over time and space (Zobel et al. 2000; Zeiter, Stampfli & Newbery 2006; Clark et al. 2007), this information alone has limited applicability to other species and…”
Strength, slope and variability of marine latitudinal gradients (2004, background): “The importance of dispersal limitation has been stressed in recent years in order to explain community assembly and species composition in terrestrial habitats (Zobel 1997, Hubbell et al. 1999, Zobel et al. 2000, Hubbell 2001).”
Exotic plant invasions over 40 years of old field successions: community patterns and associations (2002, background): “It may be that the exotic annual species are saturating all available niches, preventing the invasion of other species in the first year (Tilman 1997, but see Zobel et al. 2000).”
Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning: emerging issues and their experimental test in aquatic environments (2004, positive): “…for example, have long recognised the importance of recruitment fluctuations in regulating community dynamics (Underwood and Fairweather 1989) and recruitment limitation can be important in determining local species richness in terrestrial communities (Hubbell et al. 1999, Zobel et al. 2000).”
Seed size and provenance mediate the joint effects of disturbance and seed predation on community assembly (2012, background): “…successful exotic species are excellent colonizers that are thought to benefit from disturbance (Hobbs 1991; Mack et al. 2000; Parker 2001; Kellogg & Bridgham 2004; BrittonSimmons & Abbott 2008), but many natives do as well (Turnbull, Crawley & Rees 2000; Zobel et al. 2000; Myers & Harms 2009).”
Effects of Seed Additions and Grazing History on Diversity and Productivity of Subhumid Grasslands (2003, background): “So why was there a difference between our results in Texas grasslands and earlier results from Minnesota (Tilman 1997) and Eastonian grasslands (Zobel et al. 2000)?”
Assessing recruitment limitation: concepts, methods and case-studies from a tropical forest. (2002, background): “Seed limitation has important consequences for population and community dynamics and for species diversity at multiple scales (Tilman, 1994; Hurtt and Pacala, 1995; Pacala and Levin, 1997; Zobel et al., 2000).”
Soil seed banks in plant invasions: promoting species invasiveness and long-term impact on plant community dynamics. (2012, background): “Seed limitation and, more generally, recruitment limitation have a major effect on a species’ population (Turnbull et al. 2000, Zobel et al. 2000, Xiong et al. 2003), and increases in seed limitation negatively affect plant diversity (Tilman 1997, Tilman et al. 1997, Fridley 2001).”
