...Adding demographic stochasticity to selectionbased models represents a combination of drift and selection (e.g., Tilman 2004), as do models proposed under the rubric of a niche-neutral reconciliation (e.g., Shipley et al. 2006; Adler et al. 2007)....

...This framework is reflected in many of the recent efforts at synthesis under the rubric of nicheneutral reconciliation (e.g., Shipley et al. 2006; Adler et al. 2007), and has proven very useful, but its domain is restricted to competitive coexistence and is focused almost entirely on local…...

...Still, the more general question of how species differences influence the outcome of competition, independent of phylogeny, remains a fundamental empirical problem, central to debate between niche and neutral theory (Adler et al. 2007)....

...Based on the arguments presented here, answering this question will require separating the influence of niche and competitive ability differences, the details of which are explained in several recent papers (Chesson 2000; Leibold & McPeek 2006; Adler et al. 2007; Levine & HilleRisLambers 2009)....

...All these niche differences facilitate coexistence by favouring species when they drop to low density and are threatened with extinction (frequency-dependent regulation; Adler et al. 2007)....

...Although often rebuked and rejected (for example, Ricklefs and Renner, 2012), Hubbell’s (2001) neutral theory encouraged broader recognition of Drift and Dispersal....

...These studies provide important insights, but continued progress requires that we characterize how multiple processes simultaneously govern ecological systems (Gravel et al., 2006; Adler et al., 2007; Vellend, 2010; Stegen and Hurlbert, 2011)....

...As a consequence, it is now broadly recognized that Selection works alongside Drift and Dispersal (Cottenie, 2005; Gravel et al., 2006; Adler et al., 2007; Legendre et al., 2009; Dumbrell et al., 2010; Chase and Myers, 2011)....

...Classic studies have shown that species may differ in their use of multiple-limiting resources (Tilman 1982; Grant 1986), their ability to colonize disturbed sites (Grubb 1977), and their response to temporal fluctuations in the environment (Caceres 1997)....

...More generally, fitness inequality is the scaled difference in species per capita growth rates in the absence of stabilization; the scaling terms reflect differences in how species’ growth rates respond to shared limiting factors (Chesson & Huntly 1997; Chesson 2000; Snyder et al. 2005)....

...For examples based on other models, and for the appropriate scaling of growth rates when species differ in their sensitivities to common limiting factors, see Chesson & Huntly (1997), Chesson (2000) and Snyder et al. (2005)....

...This result can occur when dispersal limitation interacts with spatial environmental heterogeneity, demographic stochasticity, or strong, asymmetric competition (Hurtt & Pacala 1995; Bolker & Pacala 1999; Levine & Rees 2002; Snyder & Chesson 2003)....
