    • Patterns in body mass distributions: sifting among alternative hypotheses 
      Allen, C. R.; Garmestani, A. S.; Havlicek, T. D.; Marquet, Pablo A.; Peterson, G. D.; Restrepo, C.; Stow, C. A.; Weeks, B. E. (BLACKWELL, 2006-05)
      Understanding how animals interact with their environment is critical for evaluating, mitigating and coping with anthropogenic alteration of Earth's biosphere. Researchers have attempted to understand some aspects of these ...
    • Nurse effect in seedling establishment: facilitation and tolerance to damage in the Andes of central Chile 
      Acuña Rodríguez, Ian S.; Cavieres, Lohengrin A.; Gianoli, Ernesto (SOCIEDAD BIOLOGIA CHILE, 2006-09)
      Nurse effects, which occur when one plant species enhances the survival or growth of another plant species, are predicted to be most relevant in stressful environments. These effects are particulary important during seedling ...
    • Erratic pollination, high selfing levels and their correlates and consequences in an altitudinally widespread ... 
      Arroyo, Mary T. K.; Muñoz, María S.; Henríquez, Carolina; Till-Bottraud, Irène; Pérez, Fernanda (GAUTHIER-VILLARS/EDITIONS ELSEVIER, 2006-09)
      Unfavorable temperatures and weather conditions for biotic pollination in above-tree-line alpine habitats predict self-compatibility, high levels of autogamy and small flower size ("autogamy reproductive assurance hypothesis"), ...
    • On the relationship between trophic position, body mass and temperature: reformulating the energy limitation ... 
      Arim, Matías; Bozinovic, Francisco; Marquet, Pablo A. (BLACKWELL, 2007-09)
      Understanding the factors that constrain and drive changes in food chain length represents an open challenge in ecology. Although several explanatory hypotheses have been proposed, no synthesis has yet been achieved. The ...
    • Spread dynamics of invasive species 
      Arim, Matías; Abades, Sebastián R.; Neill, Paula E.; Lima, Mauricio; Marquet, Pablo A. (NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2006-01-10)
      Species invasions are a principal component of global change, causing large losses in biodiversity as well as economic damage. Invasion theory attempts to understand and predict invasion success and patterns of spread. ...
