Testing predictions of the J anzen–C onnell hypothesis: a meta‐analysis of experimental evidence for distance‐and density‐dependent seed and seedling survival
The J anzen–C onnell hypothesis proposes that specialist natural enemies, such as
herbivores and pathogens, maintain diversity in plant communities by reducing survival …

Seed dispersal effectiveness revisited: a conceptual review
Growth in seed dispersal studies has been fast‐paced since the seed disperser
effectiveness (SDE) framework was developed 17 yr ago. Thus, the time is ripe to revisit the …

Why are there so many species in the tropics?
JH Brown - Journal of biogeography, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Known for centuries, the geographical pattern of increasing biodiversity from the poles to the
equator is one of the most pervasive features of life on Earth. A longstanding goal of …

Herbivory and plant defenses in tropical forests
PD Coley, JA Barone - Annual review of ecology and …, 1996 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract In this review, we discuss the ecological and evolutionary consequences of plant-

Community regulation: variation in disturbance, competition, and predation in relation to environmental stress and recruitment
BA Menge, JP Sutherland - The American Naturalist, 1987 - journals.uchicago.edu
We present a model of community regulation that incorporates the effects of abiotic
disturbance, predation, competition, and recruitment density. We assume that mobile …

Tropical rainforest gaps and tree species diversity
JS Denslow - Annual review of ecology and systematics, 1987 - JSTOR
Evolutionary hypotheses about how so many species of tropical rainforest trees might have
arisen include (a) genetic drift (71),(b) habitat specialization (8) in benign environments, or …

Quantity, quality and the effectiveness of seed dispersal by animals
EW Schupp - Vegetatio, 1993 - Springer
Disperser effectiveness is the contribution a disperser makes to the future reproduction of a
