On the statistical machinery of alien species
Michael G Bowler, Colleen K Kelly
Many species of plants are found in regions to which they are alien and their global distribution has been found to exhibit several remarkable patterns,characterised by exponential…
Fractional abundance and the ecology of community structure
Colleen K. Kelly, Michael G. Bowler, Jeffrey B. Joy +1
The ecological principle of limiting similarity dictates that species similar in resource requirements will compete, with the superior eventually excluding the inferior competitor…
The statistical mechanics of community assembly and species distribution
Colleen K. Kellya, Stephen J. Blundell, Michael G. Bowler +4
Theoretically, communities at or near their equilibrium species number resist entry of new species. Such 'biotic resistance' recently has been questioned because of successful entr…
The general theory of species abundance distributions
Michael G. Bowler, Colleen K. Kelly
A central issue in ecology today is that of the factors determining the relative abundance of species within a natural community. The proper application of the principles of statis…
