    Proc Biol Sci 270:775-81. 2003
    ..We encourage future studies that link impacts on community structure to ecosystem processes, and relate the controls over invasibility to the controls over impact...
  2. ncbi Competition-defense tradeoffs and the maintenance of plant diversity
    David V Viola
    Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 107:17217-22. 2010
    ..In this respect, this study supports an emerging theoretical paradigm in which predation interacts with competition to both enhance and reduce species diversity...
  3. ncbi The role of plant-soil feedbacks in driving native-species recovery
    Stephanie G Yelenik
    Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106, USA
    Ecology 92:66-74. 2011
    ..We conclude that even when plant-soil feedbacks influence the balance between native and exotic species, their influence may be small relative to other ecological processes...
  4. ncbi Seasonal timing of first rain storms affects rare plant population dynamics
    Jonathan M Levine
    Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106, USA
    Ecology 92:2236-47. 2011
    ..Our work suggests that, because of species-specific cues for demographic transitions such as germination, changes to discrete climate events may be as, if not more, important than changes to season-long variables...
