Three-way coexistence in obligate mutualist-exploiter interactions: the potential role of competitionWilliam F Morris
Department of Biology, Duke University, Box 90338, Durham, North Carolina 27708 0338, USA
Am Nat 161:860-75. 2003..Our results suggest that mutualist/exploiter coexistence may be more easily achieved than previously thought, thus highlighting the need for a better understanding of competition among and between mutualists and exploiters...
Benefit and cost curves for typical pollination mutualismsWilliam F Morris
Biology Department, Duke University, Box 90338, Durham, North Carolina 27708 0338, USA
Ecology 91:1276-85. 2010....
Longevity can buffer plant and animal populations against changing climatic variabilityWilliam F Morris
Biology Department, Duke University, Box 90338, Durham, North Carolina 27708 0338, USA

Direct and interactive effects of enemies and mutualists on plant performance: a meta-analysisWilliam F Morris
Department of Biology, Duke University, Box 90338, Durham, North Carolina 27708 0338, USA
Ecology 88:1021-9. 2007..We discuss how observed differences in effect size might be confounded with methodological differences among studies...
Low demographic variability in wild primate populations: fitness impacts of variation, covariation, and serial correlation in vital ratesWilliam F Morris
Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708, USA
Am Nat 177:E14-28. 2011..Our results suggest that wild primates may be buffered against detrimental fitness effects of environmental stochasticity by their highly developed cognitive abilities, social networks, and broad, flexible diets...
Buffering of life histories against environmental stochasticity: accounting for a spurious correlation between the variabilities of vital rates and their contributions to fitnessWilliam F Morris
Biology Department, Duke University, Box 90338, Durham, North Carolina 27708, USA
Am Nat 163:579-90. 2004..Applying this analysis to demographic data from five populations of the alpine cushion plant Silene acaulis, we provide evidence of stronger buffering in the vital rates that most influence fitness...

Resource-dependent dispersal and the speed of biological invasionsGreg Dwyer
Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
Am Nat 167:165-76. 2006..More practically, our work suggests that reducing invader densities behind the front may be a useful method of slowing an invader's rate of spread...
Correctly estimating how environmental stochasticity influences fitness and population growthDaniel F Doak
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Santa Cruz, California 95064, USA
Am Nat 166:E14-21. 2005..We apply this new sensitivity calculation to data from the desert tortoise and discuss its interpretation in light of the factors generating vital rate correlations...
