Facilitation in communities: underlying mechanisms, community and ecosystem implications (2016, background): “…Pugnaire, Haase & Puigdef abregas 1996; Callaway & Walker 1997; Hacker & Gaines 1997; Holmgren, Scheffer & Huston 1997; Brooker & Callaghan 1998; Stachowicz 2001; Bruno, Stachowicz & Bertness 2003; Lortie et al. 2004; Armas & Pugnaire 2005; Brooker 2006; Padilla & Pugnaire 2006), and many…”
Indirect facilitation of an anuran invasion by non‐native fishes (2003, background): “It is increasingly clear that indirect trophic effects, including positive interactions, are critical to the formation of ecological communities (Werner & McPeek 1994; Stachowicz 2001 ).”
Agglomerating seeds to enhance native seedling emergence and growth (2012, background): “Higher seedling densities may increase mortality as a result of competition for limited resources (Connell & Slatyer 1977; Stachowicz 2001); thismay be especially truewith the plantings of agglomerated seed where cohorts of the same species are occupying the same microsite (i.”
Fiddler crab burrowing affects growth and production of the white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa) in a restored Florida coastal marsh (2009, background): “ameliorates the immediate environment, reducing or buVering eVects of stressful conditions on the other (Bertness and Leonard 1997; Stachowicz 2001).”
Strong facilitation in mild environments: the stress gradient hypothesis revisited (2010, background): “For instance, in sessile marine animal communities facilitation is more prevalent under harsher conditions (Bertness et al. 1999; Stachowicz 2001; Kawai & Tokeshi 2007), and in terrestrial herbivore assemblages small grazers depend on larger ones on sites dominated by nutritionally low quality…”
Biodiversity and biocontrol: emergent impacts of a multi-enemy assemblage on pest suppression and crop yield in an agroecosystem (2003, background): “An increased probability of non-additive interactions is potentially an important mechanism by which species diversity influences the rate of consumption of shared resources (Bertness 1998; Sih et al. 1998; Stachowicz 2001; Cardinale et al. 2002).”
Under strong niche overlap conspecifics do not compete but help each other to survive: facilitation at the intraspecific level (2010, background): “…facilitation or positive interactions are encounters between organisms that benefit at least one of the participants and cause harm to neither (Stachowicz 2001; Bruno, Stachowicz & Bertness 2003; Callaway 2007), i.e. one species facilitates other species by providing primary living space and…”
Feedbacks between geomorphology and biota controlling Earth surface processes and landforms: A review of foundation concepts and current understandings (2011, background): “Phillips, 2009a,b) of the ecological or evolutionary biology concepts of facilitation (Odum, 1969; Stachowicz, 2001; Bruno et al., 2003; Brooker et al., 2008), keystone species or ecosystem engineer (Paine, 1966;Mills et al.”
Habitat structure and complexity as determinants of biodiversity in blue mussel beds on sublittoral rocky shores (2010, background): “While this is recognized by modern theory (Bruno and Bertness 2000; Stachowicz 2001; Wright and Jones 2006), only few attempts to evaluate the possible functional and structural diVerences between single and multiple facilitators and their interactions exist (Chapman et al.”
Whole‐community facilitation by beaver: ecosystem engineer increases waterbird diversity (2014, background): “During recent decades, more and more evidence has accumulated on the importance of positive interactions in natural communities (Hacker and Gaines, 1997; Stachowicz, 2001).”
Filling key gaps in population and community ecology (2007, background): “This approach has been fruitful: in the past 40 years, ecology has transitioned from the view that competition alone structures communities to a more inclusive and nuanced perspective incorporating predation, mutualism, and parasitism (Wootton 1994; Stachowicz 2001).”
Marine ecosystem engineering by the alien ascidian Pyura praeputialis on a mid-intertidal rocky shore (2004, background): “…& Castilla 2001), (3) positive interactions among species, since more diverse communi- ties may have enhanced ecosystem functions (Chapin et al. 1998, Stachowicz 2001), (4) coexistence mediated by spatial and temporal variation in recruitment (Chesson 1986), given that the disturbance regime and…”
Enemies of herbivores can shape plant traits: Selection in a facultative ant-plant mutualism (2004, background): “Despite the extensive literature on protection mutualisms (reviewed by Bronstein 1998, Stachowicz 2001, Bronstein and Barbosa 2002), few researchers have examined the genetic basis of traits important to these interactions (but see Loughrin et al. 1995, Wilkinson et al. 2000, Hoballah et al. 2002).”
The merging of community ecology and phylogenetic biology. (2009, background): “…such as competition and Janzen–Connell mechanisms, are often emphasized in structuring communities, facilitation and mutualisms tend to be underemphasized despite their known importance (e.g. Stachowicz 2001; Callaway et al. 2002; Bascompte & Jordano 2007; Maherali & Klironomos 2007 ).”
Associational Resistance and Associational Susceptibility: Having Right or Wrong Neighbors (2009, background): “They also suggested [and Evans 1983, Wada et al. 2000, and Karban & Maron (2002) later demonstrated] that adjacent plants conferring AR could be conspecifics that differ in some fashion, as well as individuals of different species.”
