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.”
On the origin of endemic species in the Red Sea (2016, background): “Red Sea coral reef fish communities can be viewed as having been ‘sampled’ from the phylogenies of major family groups (Webb et al., 2002; Emerson & Gillespie, 2008; Rabosky et al., 2011).”
Using functional traits to investigate the determinants of crustacean zooplankton community structure (2013, background): “past competition must have limited the similarity of cooccurring taxa), other interpretations should be applicable as well (Emerson and Gillespie 2008).”
The problem of pattern and scale in ecology: what have we learned in 20 years? (2013, background): “Long-distance dispersal is also crucial to explain larger scale biogeographical patterns such as beta-diversity (Chave & Leigh 2002) and island biogeography (Emerson & Gillespie 2008).”
Opposing effects of competitive exclusion on the phylogenetic structure of communities. (2010, methodology): “Most importantly, for community assembly to affect the phylogenetic structure of a community, the traits involved in the assembly processes must be sufficiently phylogenetically conserved, or have detectable phylogenetic signal (Emerson & Gillespie 2008; Losos 2008a,b; Cavender-Bares et al. 2009).”
Testing the ability of functional diversity indices to detect trait convergence and divergence using individual‐based simulation (2016, methodology): “Merging the data collected by Emerson & Gillespie (2008) (Table 1), Vamosi et al. (2009) (Table 1) and HilleRisLambers et al. (2012) (Table 1), 33 studies find trait or phylogenetic convergence, 11 studies find divergence, and 22 studies find both.”
Dos and don'ts when inferring assembly rules from diversity patterns (2020, neutral): “…overdispersion, phylogenetic diversity, simulation model, trait diversity 1214 | MÜNKEMÜLLER Et aL. reviews and meta-analyses of empirical (Emerson & Gillespie, 2008; Götzenberger et al., 2012; HilleRisLambers et al., 2012; Vamosi, Heard, Vamosi, & Webb, 2009) and simulation (Gallien,…”
Drivers of diversity in Macaronesian spiders and the role of species extinctions (2010, background): “1034 www.blackwellpublishing.com/jbi ª 2010 Blackwell Publishing Ltd doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2009.02264.x Archipelagos formed by islands of different ages act as snapshots of the evolutionary process and provide insights into the stages of community assembly (e.g. Emerson & Gillespie, 2008).”
Correlations between phylogenetic and functional diversity: mathematical artefacts or true ecological and evolutionary processes? (2013, background): “Assembly processes; Biodiversity; Diversity indices; Environmental filtering; Niche complementarity; Null model; Phylogenetic signal; Simpson index; Species richness; Surrogates”
Measuring biodiversity to explain community assembly: a unified approach (2011, background): “However no congruence has been obtained so far on the conserved or convergent status of traits involved in distinct ecological processes (Ackerly, 2003; Ackerly, Schwilk & Webb, 2006; Emerson & Gillepsie, 2008; Losos, 2008).”
Biodiversity and Climate Change: Integrating Evolutionary and Ecological Responses of Species and Communities (2010, background): “…demonstrated that species are generally not randomly distributed within communities and along environmental gradients with respect to their phylogenetic relationships (Cavender-Bares et al. 2009, Emerson & Gillespie 2008, Johnson & Stinchcombe 2007) (see side bar, Community Phylogenetic Structure).”
Using functional traits and phylogenetic trees to examine the assembly of tropical tree communities (2012, background): “This approach has also been instrumental to readdress classical issues in island biogeography (Emerson & Gillespie 2008; Graham & Fine 2008; Schaefer et al. 2011) and at the regional scale in mainland environments (Heard & Cox 2007; Jabot & Chave 2009; Moen, Smith & Wiens 2009; Leibold,…”
Marine invasion genetics: from spatio-temporal patterns to evolutionary outcomes (2014, background): “If the environment in the native and introduced range differs, phenotypic plasticity may be responsible for counteracting any effect of environmental filtering (Emerson and Gillespie 2008; Davidson et al. 2011).”
