Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity in tropical rain forests and coral reefs.
TL;DR: The commonly observed high diversity of trees in tropical rain forests and corals on tropical reefs is a nonequilibrium state which, if not disturbed further, will progress toward a low-diversity equilibrium community as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of succession in natural communities and their role in community stability and organization
TL;DR: In the majority of natural communities succession is frequently interrupted by major disturbances, such as fires, storms, insect plagues, etc., starting the process all over again, but if not interrupted, it eventually reaches a stage in which further change is on a small scale as individuals die and are replaced.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Influence of Interspecific Competition and Other Factors on the Distribution of the Barnacle Chthamalus Stellatus
TL;DR: Field observations on the daily routine and social behavior of common Indian monkeys, with special reference to the Bonnet monkey (Macaca radiata Geoff roy).
Journal ArticleDOI
On the prevalence and relative importance of interspecific competition: evidence from field experiments
TL;DR: The present survey illustrates how difficult it is to produce a clear and unambiguous demonstration of interspecific competition.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Evidence Needed to Judge Ecological Stability or Persistence

TL;DR: An analysis of census data from many long-term studies revealed a continuum of temporal variability in the dynamics of natural populations and communities, with no evidence of multiple stable states in unexploited natural populations or communities.
