We give a comprehensive review of Chesson's coexistence theory, summarizing, for the first
time, all its fundamental details in one single document. Our goal is for both theoretical and …

This paper is a summary and synthesis of the role of nutrients and spatial and temporal
fluctuations in controlling the species composition, diversity, and seasonal succession of …

Despite its supreme importance and the threat of its global crash, biodiversity remains poorly
understood both empirically and theoretically. This ambitious book presents a new, general …

The practice of growing two or more crops together is widespread throughout the tropics and
is becoming increasingly practised in temperate agriculture. The benefits of nutrient …

All organisms, especially terrestrial plants and other sessile species, interact mainly with
their neighbors, but neighborhoods can differ in composition because of dispersal and …

We assess the degree to which adaptation to a uniform environment among independently
evolving asexual populations is associated with increasing divergence of those populations …

The chemostat is a basic piece of laboratory apparatus, yet it has begun to occupy an
increasingly central role in ecological studies. The ecological environment created by a …

Elements of Mathematical Ecology provides an introduction to classical and modern
mathematical models, methods, and issues in population ecology. The first part of the book …

Recent developments in the mathematical theory of competitive exclusion are discussed
and placed in historical perspective. The models which have been used in theoretical …

The major subdisciplines of ecology--population ecology, community ecology, ecosystem
ecology, and evolutionary ecology--have diverged increasingly in recent decades. What is …
