Body size, rarity, and phylogenetic community structure: insights from diving beetle assemblages of Alberta (2006, result): “Studies of the presence of phylogenetic signal to rarity are rare (Arita, 1993; Chazdon et al., 2003; Pilgrim et al., 2004) and studies have found conflicting results of whether rare species are more frequent in clades that are species-poor (Vamosi & Vamosi, 2005) or species-rich (Schwartz &…”
Phylogenies and Community Ecology (2002, background): “The quantitative taxonomic structure of communities was first addressed by Elton (1946), who reasoned that the lower number of species per genus observed in local areas than in the whole of Britain was evidence for competitive exclusion of ecologically similar congeners in local habitats. Interest c”
Changes in four complementary facets of fish diversity in a tropical coastal lagoon after 18 years: a functional interpretation (2005, background): “For example, von Euler & Svensson (2001) and Chazdon et al. (2003) reported that some functional traits are highly related to the taxonomy in birds and plants, respectively.”
Inferring differential evolutionary processes of plant persistence traits in Northern Hemisphere Mediterranean fire‐prone ecosystems (2006, background): “It is therefore important to recognize that taxon sampling bias due to Mediterranean community assembly processes represents a historical legacy and that our results will need to be interpreted not only in terms of adaptation to fire but also as the spatial and temporal sorting of existing lineages ”
‘Nucleating’ succession in recovering neotropical wet forests: The legacy of remnant trees (2008, background): “To compare the dispersal modes of species between zones, percent composition of wind/explosive and animal-dispersed individuals was determined following Stevens et al. (2001) and Chazdon et al. (2003).”
Maintenance of tree phylogenetic diversity in a highly fragmented rain forest (2012, background): “We argue that in this unique Neotropical region, both large and small rain forest patches are critical for conserving regio- nal tree evolutionary history.”
Successional dynamics of woody seedling communities in wet tropical secondary forests (2005, methodology): “On the other hand, a number of differences have been identified between the forests of north-east Costa Rica and other Neotropical sites.”
Phylogenetic conservatism in plant phenology (2013, background): “2010; Sun & Frelich 2011), which may in turn be phylogenetically conserved (Chazdon et al. 2003; Swenson & Enquist 2007; Kraft & Ackerly 2010).”
Neutral theory in community ecology and the hypothesis of functional equivalence (2005, background): “This evolutionary process has the incidental effect of causing species to converge on similar trait syndromes, given whatever constraints are imposed by their different phylogenetic histories (Chazdon et al. 2003).”
Demographic drivers of successional changes in phylogenetic structure across life-history stages in plant communities (2012, methodology): “Since many other traits have shown similar patterns (Prinzing et al. 2001, Chazdon et al. 2003, Swenson et al. 2007, Kraft et al. 2010), phylogenetic constraints might have favored niche conservatism in the pioneer strategy.”
