A Mechanistically Integrated Model of Exploitative and Interference Competition over a Single Resource Produces Widespread Coexistence

The paper develops a model integrating exploitative and interference competition, showing interference can promote coexistence without requiring specific conditions previously thought necessary.

Janzen-Connell effects and habitat-induced aggregation synergistically promote species coexistence

The paper models how Janzen-Connell effects and habitat-induced aggregation interact with dispersal limitation to influence species coexistence in tropical forests.

The functional form of specialized predation dramatically affects whether Janzen-Connell effects can prevent competitive exclusion

The paper shows that the functional form of Janzen-Connell effects significantly influences their ability to maintain diversity in communities with interspecific fitness variation.
