• Morphological traits and water use strategies in seedlings of Mediterranean coexisting species (2010, unknown): “allocation to roots (RMF), since these species have to sustain regrowth after a disturbance (Ackerly 2004; Pausas et al. 2004; Schwilk and Ackerly 2005).”
• The impact of neutrality, niche differentiation and species input on diversity and abundance distributions (2007, methodology): “Our principal interest is in niche differences, or species-specific habitat preference (Schwilk and Ackerly 2005).”
• The geography of climate change: implications for conservation biogeography (2010, background): “This effect may lead species to occupy a broader range of environments when they occur in small areas (Diamond, 1975; see Schwilk & Ackerly, 2005).”
• Community assembly and shifts in plant trait distributions across an environmental gradient in coastal California (2009, background): “…have shown that coupling stochastic demography (i.e., mortality, establishment, and immigration from a metacommunity) with species variation in niche parameters leads to the coexistence of a finite number of species evenly spaced in niche space (Pacala and Tilman 1994, Schwilk and Ackerly 2005).”
• Functional trait and phylogenetic tests of community assembly across spatial scales in an Amazonian forest (2010, background): “Key words: coexistence theory; functional equivalence; functional traits; habitat filtering; neutral theory; null models; phylogenetic community structure; power analysis; simulation modeling; Yasunı́ Forest Dynamics Plot, Ecuador.”
