Publications
Spatial scale dictates the productivity-biodiversity relationshipJonathan M Chase
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15260, USA
Nature 416:427-30. 2002..This dependence on scale results because dissimilarity in local species composition within regions increased with productivity...
Evolutionary diversification in stickleback affects ecosystem functioningLuke J Harmon
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho 83844 3051, USA
Nature 458:1167-70. 2009..It is well known that ecological factors influence adaptive radiation. We demonstrate that adaptive radiation, even over short timescales, can have profound effects on ecosystems...- Community assembly: when should history matter?Jonathan M Chase
Department of Biology, Washington University, Campus Box 1137, St Louis, MO 63130 4899, USA
Oecologia 136:489-98. 2003..I illustrate preliminary evidence for these predictions from an observational study of small pond communities, and show important effects on community similarity, as well as on local and regional species richness... - Effects of interspecific competition, predation, and their interaction on survival and development time of immature Anopheles quadrimaculatusTiffany M Knight
Department of Biology, Washington University, St Louis, MO 63130, USA
J Vector Ecol 29:277-84. 2004.... - Trophic cascades across ecosystemsTiffany M Knight
Department of Zoology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611, USA
Nature 437:880-3. 2005..Our results confirm that strong species interactions can reverberate across ecosystems, and emphasize the importance of landscape-level processes in driving local species interactions... - The role of size-specific predation in the evolution and diversification of prey life historiesTroy Day
Department of Zoology, University of Toronto, ON, Canada
Evolution 56:877-87. 2002..Moreover, under strong coupling it is also possible for natural selection to favor an evolutionary diversification of life histories, possibly resulting in two coexisting species with divergent life-history strategies... - Interactions between mosquito larvae and species that share the same trophic levelLeon Blaustein
Community Ecology Laboratory, Institute of Evolution, Faculty of Sciences, University of Haifa, Haifa 31905, Israel
Annu Rev Entomol 52:489-507. 2007..We conclude that more extensive theoretical and empirical studies in elucidating the roles of controphic species will better allow us to predict mosquito population dynamics and allow for better management of mosquitoes... - Predator-dependent species-area relationshipsWade A Ryberg
Department of Biology, Washington University in St Louis, St Louis, Missouri 63130, USA
Am Nat 170:636-42. 2007..Our results emphasize that anthropogenic activities yield simultaneous changes in processes altering diversity and that it is critical that we understand how these components of anthropogenic change interact to impact diversity... 
Aquatic eutrophication promotes pathogenic infection in amphibiansPieter T J Johnson
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Colorado, Ramaley N122, Boulder, CO 80309 0334, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:15781-6. 2007..Given forecasted increases in global eutrophication, amphibian extinctions, and similarities between Ribeiroia and important human and wildlife pathogens, our results have broad epidemiological and ecological significance...- Ecological succession: out of the ashTiffany M Knight
Department of Biology, Washington University in St. Louis, MO 63110, USA
Curr Biol 15:R926-7. 2005..A new study of plants recolonising the land devasted when Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980 is providing important new insights into the interactions with herbivores that determine the pattern and outcome of ecological succession...
