Ecological theory explains why diverse island economies are more stable

Journal Article Complex Systems · January 1, 2017 Significant work in ecology and economics has derived sophisticated frameworks for understanding system stability over time. Despite the potential of ecological methods to identify the processes underlying variation in stability, these methods have yet to ... Full text Cite

Host physiological phenotype explains pathogen reservoir potential.

Journal Article Ecology letters · October 2010 Control of emerging infectious diseases often hinges on identifying a pathogen reservoir, the source of disease transmission. The potential to function as a pathogen reservoir can be influenced by host lifespan, geographic provenance and phylogeny. Yet, no ... Full text Cite

Tree growth inference and prediction from diameter censuses and ring widths.

Journal Article Ecological applications : a publication of the Ecological Society of America · October 2007 Estimation of tree growth is based on sparse observations of tree diameter, ring widths, or increments read from a dendrometer. From annual measurements on a few trees (e.g., increment cores) or sporadic measurements from many trees (e.g., diameter censuse ... Full text Cite
