Conspecific and phylogenetic density‐dependent survival differs across life stages in a tropical forest (2015, background): “Neighbourhood interactions have long intrigued ecologists seeking to explain the maintenance of diversity in plant communities (Harper 1977; Goldberg 1987; Stoll & Weiner 2000; Wright 2002).”
Creating complex habitats for restoration and reconciliation (2015, background): “structured by micro-topographical gradients such as altitude and inclination (Svenning,1999; Wright, 2002) while many aquatic benthic assemblages are structured by the topography of the substratum (Underwood and Chapman,1989; Downes et al.”
Temporal variation in plant–pollinator networks from seasonal tropical environments: Higher specialization when resources are scarce (2018, background): “However, studies on temporal interaction networks are still scarce in tropical environments where species diversity is higher and plant–animal activity is not restricted to favourable seasons (Bender et al., 2017; Vizentin-Bugoni et al., 2018; Wright, 2002).”
