    Ecol Lett 9:1005-14. 2006
    ..We discuss how future research might consider the way landscape structure, dispersal patterns, and the time scales over which plant-soil feedbacks develop regulate the effects of such feedbacks on invader spread...

  5. ncbi Do competitors modulate rare plant response to precipitation change?
    Jonathan M Levine
    Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106, USA
    Ecology 91:130-40. 2010
    ..Ultimately, the strength of the indirect effect depends on how strongly climate change alters competition, and how sensitive focal species are to changes in competition...
  6. ncbi Density dependence slows invader spread in fragmented landscapes

    Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106, USA
    Am Nat 177:18-28. 2011

    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...

    Stephanie G Yelenik
    Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106, USA
