Journal ArticleDOI
Why intraspecific trait variation matters in community ecology
Daniel I. Bolnick,Priyanga Amarasekare,Márcio S. Araújo,Reinhard Bürger,Jonathan M. Levine,Mark Novak,Volker H. W. Rudolf,Sebastian J. Schreiber,Mark C. Urban,David A. Vasseur +9 more
TL;DR: Six general mechanisms by which trait variation changes the outcome of ecological interactions are identified and synthesize recent theory and identify several direct effects of trait variation per se and indirect effects arising from the role of genetic variation in trait evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms underlying the impacts of exotic plant invasions
Jonathan M. Levine,Montserrat Vilà,Carla M. D'Antonio,Jeffrey S. Dukes,Karl Grigulis,Sandra Lavorel +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that, while numerous studies have examined the impacts of invasions on plant diversity and composition, less than 5% test whether these effects arise through competition, allelopathy, alteration of ecosystem variables or other processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opposing effects of competitive exclusion on the phylogenetic structure of communities
TL;DR: It is argued that two types of species differences determine competitive exclusion with opposing effects on relatedness patterns, which means that competition can sometimes eliminate more different and less related taxa, even when the traits underlying the relevant species differences are phylogenetically conserved.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta‐analysis of biotic resistance to exotic plant invasions
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of the plant invasions literature concludes that ecological interactions rarely enable communities to resist invasion, but instead constrain the abundance of invasive species once they have successfully established.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elton revisited: a review of evidence linking diversity and invasibility
TL;DR: It is found that much of the historical work that has contributed to the perception that diverse communities are less invasible, including Elton's observations and MacArthur's species-packing and diversity-stability models is based on controversial premises.
