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: Antagonist and mutualist organisms mediate the long‐standing, classical Janzen‐Connell effects and yet they are rarely investigated, especially when they share plant species hosts. Here, we propose that plant species create an “antagonists‐ and mutualist‐scape” which,… read more here.

The functional form of specialised predation affects whether Janzen–Connell effects can prevent competitive exclusion

DOI: 10.1111/ele.14014
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.
