DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10004
Abstract: Abstract The Janzen–Connell hypothesis proposes that density and distance‐dependent mortality generated by specialist natural enemies prevent competitive dominance. Much literature on Janzen–Connell mechanisms comes from the neotropics, and evidence of the role of distance and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8525
Abstract: Abstract Density dependence and habitat heterogeneity have been recognized as important driving mechanisms that shape the patterns of seedling survival and promote species coexistence in species‐rich forests. In this study, we evaluated the relative importance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2977
Abstract: A central question of community ecology is to understand how the interplay between processes of the Neutral Theory (e.g., immigration and ecological drift) and niche-based processes (e.g., environmental filtering, intra- and interspecific density-dependence) shape species… read more here.

Experimental and observational evidence of negative conspecific density dependence in temperate ectomycorrhizal trees.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3808
Abstract: Conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) promotes tree species diversity by reducing recruitment near conspecific adults due to biotic feedbacks from herbivores, pathogens, or competitors. While this process is well-described in tropical forests, tests of temperate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4021
Abstract: Applications of ecological theory to natural communities often assume that competitive, negative density-dependent processes are the only type of interaction important for diversity maintenance. Recent advances suggest that positive interactions within trophic levels (e.g. plant-plant)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00248-018-1211-3
Abstract: This study provides empirical evidence for antagonistic density dependence mechanisms driving sexual reproduction in the wheat fungal pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici. Biparental crosses with 12 increasing inoculum concentrations, in controlled conditions, showed that sexual reproduction in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-017-3842-3
Abstract: Recent evidence suggests that plant performance can be influenced by the phylogenetic diversity of neighboring plants. However, no study to date has examined the effect of such phylogenetic density dependence on the transition from seed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2017.08.010
Abstract: Along with mechanistic models, predictions of exposure-response relationships for copper are often derived from laboratory toxicity experiments with standardized experimental exposures and conditions. For predictions of copper toxicity to algae, cell density is a critical… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract In fisheries ecology and stock assessment, recruitment signifies the transition from early stages of the life cycle which are characterized by environmentally-driven variability and density-dependence in mortality rates, to a recruited phase when natural… read more here.
