The Invasion Criterion: A Common Currency for Ecological Research
2019, Trends in Ecology and EvolutionCitation Excerpt :While it is worthwhile and informative to determine whether one competitor is able to invade without focusing on the other competitor(s), as described above, conducting full mutual invasibility tests would provide a more complete picture of species interactions across the range. In particular, quantifying fitness and stabilizing niche differences across the range, as suggested in several recent papers [24,25,33,34], would reveal whether declining growth rates towards range margins are due to decreased competitive fitness of the focal species, increased fitness of competitor(s), or increased overlap in resource use (i.e., reduced niche difference) [33]. One challenge with this approach is that modern coexistence theory generally assumes that species have positive growth in the absence of competitors, so the quantification of fitness and stabilizing niche differences would be restricted to within the potential range [1].
Reply to the comment on “Synchronizing biological cycles as key to survival under a scenario of global change: The Common quail (Coturnix coturnix) strategy” by Rodriguez-Teijeiro et al.
2018, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :Because migration constitutes movement through various regions in search of optimal resources for life, our goal is to understand migration within a global change scenario. Our conceptual model is spatio-temporal and links geographic region and date as a single variable to synthesize geographical and habitat information (Alexander et al., 2018; Godsoe et al., 2017). Second, they confuse scale considerations between locality and region with altitude differences between localities in different regions.
