Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative ecology of seed size and dispersal
TL;DR: It remains unclear whether competition among seedlings is a decisive influence on species composition in most of the world's vegetation types, as there is startlingly wide variation in seed mass among species growing interspersed with each other.
Journal ArticleDOI
On misinterpreting the phylogenetic correction
TL;DR: In this paper, an interpretive logic called "phylogenetic correction" (PC for short) was proposed to take phylogeny into account when analysing a comparative dataset, which is a conceptual decision to give priority to one interpretation over another.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scale and the Spatial Concept of Fragmentation
Janice M. Lord,David A. Norton +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a number of fragment attributes need to be considered to adequately describe the dispersion of fragments in an area, where grain size refers to the size of the landscape elements present.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seed size and phylogeny in six temperate floras: constraints, niche conservatism, and adaptation
TL;DR: It is found that taxonomic membership statistically accounted for the majority of seed size variation within data sets, and differences among data sets were also largely associated with shifts in taxonomic composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further Remarks on Phylogenetic Correction
TL;DR: Responses to the papers in the last issue by Westoby et al. and Harvey et al on the use of 'phylogenetic correction' in comparative ecological studies are published.
