Topography related spatial distribution of dominant tree species in a tropical seasonal rain forest in China (2011, background): “The purely spatial fraction of explained variation has sometimes been interpreted as predominantly a dispersal effect (Gilbert and Lechowicz, 2004; Cottenie, 2005; Karst et al., 2005).”
Partitioning beta diversity in a subtropical broad-leaved forest of China. (2009, background): “…among sampling units between environmental and spatial components according to this framework provides a useful ground for testing and separating niche from neutral mechanisms in biodiversity studies (Harms et al. 2001, Tilman 2004, Karst et al. 2005, Gravel et al. 2006, Laliberté et al. 2008).”
Effects of incorporating spatial autocorrelation into the analysis of species distribution data (2007, background): “The most obvious ecological cause of spatial autocorrelation in species distribution data is dispersal (e.g. Austin, 2002; Epperson, 2005; Karst et al ., 2005; Lloyd et al ., 2005; Jones et al ., 2006).”
Niche partitioning at multiple scales facilitates coexistence among mosquito larvae (2008, background): “As with many studies that correlate pattern with process (Karst et al. 2005, Thompson and Townsend 2006), we did not experimentally test the effects of competition among species across the range of bromeliad sizes to ensure that the observed patterns match the predicted mechanism.”
