Demographic drivers of successional changes in phylogenetic structure across life-history stages in plant communities (2012, background): “For instance, facilitation among distantly related species appeared to be an important driver of phylogenetic diversity in arid plant communities in Central Mexico (Valiente-Banuet and Verdú 2007) and in Mediterranean successional communities (Verdú et al. 2009).”
The new diversity: management gains through insights into the functional diversity of communities (2011, background): “2002) and facilitative interactions among often very different species (Verdu et al. 2009).”
Phylogenetic patterns are not proxies of community assembly mechanisms (they are far better) (2015, background): “Coexisting distantly related species are hence considered more likely to be complementary and to engage in mutualism than coexisting closely related species (Verdu et al. 2009; Valiente-Banuet & Verdu 2013, but see Venail et al. 2014 who found no effect).”
