Journal ArticleDOI
A framework for community and ecosystem genetics: from genes to ecosystems
Thomas G. Whitham,Joseph K. Bailey,Joseph K. Bailey,Jennifer A. Schweitzer,Jennifer A. Schweitzer,Stephen M. Shuster,Randy K. Bangert,Carri J. LeRoy,Carri J. LeRoy,Eric V. Lonsdorf,Eric V. Lonsdorf,G. J. Allan,Stephen P. DiFazio,Brad M. Potts,Dylan G. Fischer,Catherine A. Gehring,Richard L. Lindroth,Jane C. Marks,Stephen C. Hart,Gina M. Wimp,Stuart C. Wooley +20 more
TL;DR: This framework could allow us to understand, for the first time, the genetic basis of ecosystem processes, and the effect of such phenomena as climate change and introduced transgenic organisms on entire communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta-analysis of context-dependency in plant response to inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi
Jason D. Hoeksema,V. Bala Chaudhary,Catherine A. Gehring,Nancy Collins Johnson,Justine Karst,Roger T. Koide,Anne Pringle,Catherine A. Zabinski,James D. Bever,John C. Moore,Gail W. T. Wilson,John N. Klironomos,James Umbanhowar +12 more
TL;DR: Univariate analyses supported the hypothesis that plant response is most positive when plants are P-limited rather than N-limited when the soil community was more complex, and emphasize that mycorrhizal function depends on both abiotic and biotic context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community and ecosystem genetics: a consequence of the extended phenotype
Thomas G. Whitham,William P. Young,Gregory D. Martinsen,Catherine A. Gehring,Jennifer A. Schweitzer,Stephen M. Shuster,Gina M. Wimp,Dylan G. Fischer,Joseph K. Bailey,Richard L. Lindroth,Scott A. Woolbright,Cheryl R. Kuske +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the extended phenotype can be traced from the individuals possessing the trait, to the community, and to ecosystem processes such as leaf litter decomposition and N mineralization, which provides a genetic framework for community structure and ecosystem processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential tree mortality in response to severe drought: evidence for long‐term vegetation shifts
Rebecca C. Mueller,Crescent Scudder,Marianne E. Porter,R. Talbot Trotter,Catherine A. Gehring,Thomas G. Whitham +5 more
TL;DR: Differential mortality of large pinyons resulted in a vegetation shift such that the pinyon‐juniper woodlands are becoming dominated by juniper, a species that is typical of lower elevations and more arid conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex Species Interactions and the Dynamics of Ecological Systems: Long-Term Experiments
TL;DR: Research programs in U.S. desert shrubland and pinyon-juniper woodland have shown that some environmental perturbations can cause wholesale reorganization of ecosystems and other changes may be buffered because of the compensatory dynamics of complementary species.
