  1. ncbi Experimental investigation of the origin of fynbos plant community structure after fire
    Jonathan Silvertown
    Department of Environment, Earth and Ecosystems, Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, UK
    Ann Bot 110:1377-83. 2012
    ..Although this phenomenon is not unique to fynbos, this community regenerates after fire and therefore provides an opportunity to study the ecological genesis of hydrological niche segregation...

    Jonathan Silvertown
    Department of Life Sciences, The Open University, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom

  3. ncbi A new dawn for citizen science
    Jonathan Silvertown
    Department of Life Sciences, The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, UK
    Trends Ecol Evol 24:467-71. 2009
    ..Projects that involve citizen scientists are burgeoning, particularly in ecology and the environmental sciences, although the roots of citizen science go back to the very beginnings of modern science itself...
  4. ncbi Community genetics: resource addition has opposing effects on genetic and species diversity in a 150-year experiment
    Jonathan Silvertown
    Department of Life Sciences, The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA, UK
    Ecol Lett 12:165-70. 2009
    ..However, separate analyses have shown a negative correlation between resource addition and species richness at Park Grass and elsewhere, so genetic and species diversity appear to respond in opposite directions...
  5. ncbi Phylogeny and the hierarchical organization of plant diversity
    Jonathan Silvertown
    Department of Biological Sciences, The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA, UK
    Ecology 87:S39-49. 2006
    ..Tests against null models revealed a number of instances, including some in island radiations, in which habitat (beta niche) and elevational maximum (an aspect of the gamma niche) showed evolutionary conservatism...
  6. ncbi Absence of phylogenetic signal in the niche structure of meadow plant communities
    Jonathan Silvertown
    Department of Biological Sciences, The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes MK7 6AA, UK
    Proc Biol Sci 273:39-44. 2006
    ..This determines that species must have similar beta niches in order to occupy the same habitat, but different alpha niches in order to coexist...
  7. ncbi Reinforcement of reproductive isolation between adjacent populations in the Park Grass Experiment
    J Silvertown
    Department of Biological Sciences, Ecology and Evolution Research Group, The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes MK7 6AA, UK
    Heredity (Edinb) 95:198-205. 2005
    ..As a consequence, gene flow via pollen has been severely limited and adjacent populations that had a common origin at the start of the experiment in 1856 have now diverged at neutral marker loci...
  8. ncbi A fundamental, eco-hydrological basis for niche segregation in plant communities
    Yoseph N Araya
    Department of Life Sciences, Open University, Milton Keynes, UK
    New Phytol 189:253-8. 2011
    ..Eco-hydrological niche segregation will have implications for conservation in habitats that face changing hydrology caused by water abstraction and climate change...
  9. ncbi Prediction of extinction in plants: interaction of extrinsic threats and life history traits
    Hélène Fréville
    Ecology and Evolution Research Group, Department of Biological Sciences, Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA, United Kingdom
    Ecology 88:2662-72. 2007
    ..In contrast, understanding the interactions between extrinsic threats and life history traits will allow us to make more accurate predictions of extinctions...
