Thirteen Years of Shifting Top-Down and Bottom-Up Control (2003, background): “Surveys conducted at isolated points in time and space do not enable direct testing of the relative importance of biotic versus abiotic factors, although such temporal “snapshots” may provide valuable insights (e.g., Fox 1995, Kelt et al. 1996).”
Spatial dynamics of small mammals in central Australian desert habitats: the role of drought refugia (2011, background): “…of some desert-dwelling small mammals appear to be regulated both by the climate–resource axis and by endogenous factors such as competition (Ernest et al. 2000; Lima et al. 2008; Ojeda et al. 2011) and exhibit long-term stability or regular multiannual cycles (Brown and Zeng 1989; Zeng…”
A comparison of the species–time relationship across ecosystems and taxonomic groups (2006, background): “7 (Ernest et al. 2000) Jornada LTER (JN) plants desert 32.”
Resource pulses, species interactions, and diversity maintenance in arid and semi-arid environments (2004, background): “The responses of rodent populations to precipitation pulses are similarly diverse to those of plant populations, both seasonally and on longer, multi-year timescales (Brown and Zeng 1989; Ernest et al. 2000; Brown and Ernest 2002).”
