Persistence for stochastic difference equations: a mini-review (2011, background): “gif"/> when the deterministic dynamics converge to an equilibrium and the small noise generates small demographic fluctuations around this equilibrium 19-21 .”
Accurate predictions of coexistence in natural systems require the inclusion of facilitative interactions and environmental dependency (2018, methodology): “Among other insights, this framework explains how coexistence between two competing species can arise from the interplay between two categories of competition, which are now most widely known as niche overlap and fitness differences (Chesson, 2000b, 2008).”
Updates on mechanisms of maintenance of species diversity (2018, background): “(36) 𝛼ij 𝛼jj 1, i,j=1, 2, j≠ i, in other words, 𝛼12 𝛼22 and 𝛼21 𝛼11, that is, each species must inhibit its own per capita growth more strongly than it inhibits its competitor’s growth (Chesson, 2000b).”
High‐dimensional coexistence based on individual variation: a synthesis of evidence (2010, background): “Although negative correlations between species in their responses to variation would tend to promote diversity (Chesson 2000a, Clark et al. 2007a), many species do not show negative correlation, as expected if they are, on average, limited by similar factors (Clark 2010).”
Mechanisms promoting plant coexistence: can all the proposed processes be reconciled? (2004, positive): “However, when the fitnesses of two species approaches each other, then the weaker species needs to be stabilizing processes to insure their stable coexistence (Chesson 2000a,b, Murell and Law 2003).”
Species associations in an old‐growth temperate forest in north‐eastern China (2010, neutral): “Spatial segregation is a mechanism known from theoretical models to promote coexistence (Pacala 1997; Pacala & Levin 1997; Chesson 2000).”
Linking modern coexistence theory and contemporary niche theory (2017, methodology): “A cc ep te d A rt ic le 2013), and several of the most prominent mechanisms under modern coexistence theory rely on variability in resource or non-resource factors (e.g., the storage effect and relative non-linearity of competition) (Chesson, 1994, 2000a,b).”
The community ecology of invasive species: where are we and what's next? (2017, positive): “…gradient (e.g. where resource fluctuation increases) ruderal invaders (sensu Grime 2001) can be expected to be more successful in the most disturbed sites (Davis et al. 2000), since environmental fluctuations are expected to reduce the effects of interspecific competition (Chesson 2000).”
Amphibians in the climate vise: loss and restoration of resilience of montane wetland ecosystems in the western US (2014, background): “On the positive side, environmental variation can also buffer population growth rates and promote species coexistence (Chesson 2000).”
INTERSPECIFIC NEIGHBORS CHANGE SEED DISPERSAL PATTERN OF AN AVIAN-DISPERSED PLANT (2005, background): “To date, theoretical work regarding plant population dynamics, species coexistence, and spatial structuring of plant populations usually assumes a fixed-dispersal kernel (Pacala and Levin 1998, Bolker and Pacala 1999, Chesson 2000, Hubbell 2001).”
Contrasts between habitat generalists and specialists: an empirical extension to the basic metacommunity framework. (2009, background): “When dispersal is sufficient, species sort themselves along an environmental gradient so that species persist in their favored environments (e.g., Tilman et al. 1982, Chesson 2000, Chase and Leibold 2002, Cadotte 2006).”
Mechanistic simulation models in macroecology and biogeography: state‐of‐art and prospects (2017, background): “Coexistence theory (Chesson 2000) Summarizes stabilization and equalizing mechanisms that allow species to avoid competitive exclusion Understanding of the diversity of mechanisms that may allow species to co-occur Biotic interactions, population dynamics S: Local/Variable; T: typically many generat”
