TL;DR: The use (and misuse) of GLMMs in ecology and evolution are reviewed, estimation and inference are discussed, and 'best-practice' data analysis procedures for scientists facing this challenge are summarized.

The Growth–Defense Trade‐Off And Habitat Specialization By Plants In Amazonian Forests

TL;DR: It is proposed that the growth-defense trade-off is universal and provides an important mechanism by which herbivores govern plant distribution patterns across resource gradients, causing white-sand and clay specialists to evolve divergent strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant density determines species richness along an experimental fertility gradient
TL;DR: The overwhelming influence of density found in this study suggests that plant species richness along many productivity gradients may be strongly influenced by total stem density, and that differences in competitive ability among species, although generally important, are not necessary to create dramatic changes inspecies richness along fertility gradients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resource quantity, not resource heterogeneity, maintains plant diversity
TL;DR: It is suggested that biodiversity declines with increasing productivity because at high enough levels of productivity one resource may always be driven to sufficiently short supply to exclude many species.
