Predicting impacts of climate change on biodiversity: a role for semi‐mechanistic community‐level modelling (2011, background): “Extensions of neutral theory to incorporate the role of spatial environmental variation in structuring communities (e.g. Zillio & Condit, 2007) highlight the adaptability of neutral theory and its potential in contributing to new semi-mechanistic biodiversity models.”
Niche assembly of epiphytic bryophyte communities in the Guianas: a regional approach (2009, background): “Despite the fact that the debate concerning community assembly raised by the ‘Neutral Theory of Biodiversity and Biogeography’ has produced an interesting body of literature, most of the research has been theoretical (Alonso & McKane, 2004; McKane et al., 2004; Etienne & Alonso, 2005; Zillio & Cond”
Mechanisms in macroecology: AWOL or purloined letter? Towards a pragmatic view of mechanism (2010, background): “Th e more novel contribution has been the second factor which one might call the “regional replacement” or “species pool theory” (Zobel 1997).”
Predicting the effects of increasing temporal scale on species composition, diversity, and rank-abundance distributions (2010, background): “1) is related to the way new species are introduced into the neutral metacommunity, namely as singletons (‘‘point-mutation’’ speciation [Hubbell 2001; Zillio and Condit 2007]).”
High‐dimensional coexistence based on individual variation: a synthesis of evidence (2010, background): “Models predict low diversity, because not many species can find a position of dominance along one or a few axes with limited overlap between them (Tilman 1988, 2004, Gravel et al. 2006, Zillio and Condit 2007).”
The Limitations of Hierarchical Organization* (2012, background): “For example, ecology has placed increasing emphasis on migration from a “regional pool” as important in structuring local community dynamics (Hubbell 2001; Magurran and Henderson 2003; McGill 2003; Leibold et al. 2004; Zillio and Condit 2007).”
