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.

Abstract: Abstract Janzen–Connell effects (JCEs), specialised predation of seeds and seedlings near conspecific trees, are hypothesised to maintain species richness. While previous studies show JCEs can maintain high richness relative to neutral communities, recent theoretical work… read more here.
