Testing the roles of competition, facilitation and stochasticity on community structure in a species‐rich assemblage (2014, methodology): “The model considers five different factors that affect population dynamics: (i) Interactions: these change over the life cycle (Miriti 2006; Valiente-Banuet and Verd u, 2008, Verd u, Jordano & Valiente-Banuet 2010), so we modelled separately the data from squares where the focal species was present…”
Where do seedlings go? A spatio-temporal analysis of seedling mortality in a semi-arid gypsophyte (2008, background): “Some studies have shown that shrubs may facilitate the establishment of seedlings, but later compete with them as they grow and become adults (Walker et al. 2001, Miriti 2006).”
Shifts in the regeneration niche of an endangered tree (Acer opalus ssp. granatense) during ontogeny: Using an ecological concept for application (2008, background): “Plants do not actively seek ideal habitats, but they exhibit distinct differences in tolerances to extrinsic factors at different developmental stages (Franco & Nobel, 1989; Miriti, 2006; Parrish & Bazzaz, 1985), causing changes in niche dimension.”
Facilitation in plant communities: the past, the present, and the future (2007, background): “These include relatively short-term experiments, a lack of adequate control for the occurrence of multiple stress factors or ontogenetic effects (but see Armas & Pugnaire 2005; Miriti 2006; Schiffers & Tielbörger 2006), or the effects of resource vs.”
Temporal shifts from facilitation to competition occur between closely related taxa (2008, background): “2000; Tielborger & Kadmon 2000; Gasque & García-Fayos 2004; Miriti 2006).”
Phylogenetic signatures of facilitation and competition in successional communities (2009, background): “Many of these facilitative interactions between benefactors (e.g. nurses) and beneficiary species (e.g. facilitated seedlings) shift to competition when beneficiaries mature and compete with the benefactors (see McAuliffe 1984; Miriti 2006; Callaway 2007).”
Spatio-temporal heterogeneity in abiotic factors modulate multiple ontogenetic shifts between competition and facilitation (2010, background): “, 2003) and the increase in interference competition with other neighboring plants (Goldberg et al., 2001; Miriti, 2006), as they are less abundant under the south-face of the tussocks (S.”
Effects of facilitation on community stability and dynamics: synthesis and future directions (2009, background): “Many interactions are highly dependent upon the ontogenetic stage of the interacting individuals (Miriti 2006), which can generate time lags in facilitative effects and responses.”
The role of plant interactions in the restoration of degraded ecosystems: a meta‐analysis across life‐forms and ecosystems (2009, background): “Because competition has been shown to increase with ontogeny (Miriti 2006; Quero et al. 2008; Armas & Pugnaire 2009), I would expect the net effect of established neighbours to become increasingly negative as study duration increases.”
Perennial plant mortality in the Sonoran and Mojave deserts in response to severe, multi-year drought (2010, result): “Mortality rates of 90% or higher in Ambrosia spp. occurred at several locations in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Ocotillo CA, and Joshua Tree National Park (Fig.”
Refining the stress‐gradient hypothesis for competition and facilitation in plant communities (2009, unknown): “2006), that their magnitude and direction may change through the ontogeny of the interacting species (Miriti 2006), and that transitions from competition to facilitation depend to a large degree on the characteristics of the species being tested (Choler et al.”
Global shifts towards positive species interactions with increasing environmental stress. (2013, background): “But, the outcome of plant interactions has been shown to depend on ontogeny (Armas & Pugnaire 2005; Miriti 2006; Reisman-Berman 2007; Sthultz et al. 2007).”
Shedding light on shade: ecological perspectives of understorey plant life (2016, background): “…with studies on seedling, juvenile and adult plants reveal important temporal changes in the traits conferring shade tolerance, in the dimensions of the ecological niche and in the nature and strength of plant–plant interactions during the lifetime of a plant (Miriti 2006; Quero et al. 2008).”
Strong facilitation in mild environments: the stress gradient hypothesis revisited (2010, background): “…inspired by the SGH conceptual model has led to rather diverse outcomes depending on the interacting species (Callaway 2007), their ontogenic stage (Miriti 2006;Nuñez et al. 2009), the indicators used to evaluate plant performance (Gómez-Aparicio et al. 2005), the type of stress factor (Kawai &…”
