Mary Power
Trophic cascade study. What is causing algae growth in some trout streams? Exclosure and enclosure to determine a top down effect.
Elton
Elton: Trophic classification, numbers biomass or energy at each level. Suggests transfer of energy, because this is never efficient 100% there can only be so many levels.
Connel and Slayter
Connel and Slayter: Mechanisms that drive succession
Jane Lubchenco
Jane Lubchenco: Studied keystone speicse Enteromorpha and Chondrus
Sousa
Sousa: Algal communities on intertidal boulders. Those with intermediate disturbances show the greatest diversity.
Simberloff
Simberloff: Surveyed several mangrove islands to support pure area affect on increasing diversity.
Diamond
Diamond: observations of turnover by surveying birds.
Robert Paine
Removed top predator to examine role in community
Weihar and Keddy
20 species in 120 microcosms to see if distinct communities created
Whittikar
Gradient analysis: measure abundance of species along environmental gradient
Gleason
Each species responds to environment independendlty of speices
Clements
Community unit concept (holistic)
Holling
Pioneering studies on functional responses to an increase in prey density
Errington
Predators often remove surplus that would die anyways
Huffaker
Studied predation by addition of spatial heterogeneity and temporal refuge to gaussian system
Connel
Spatial distribution of 2 species of barnacles. C kept out of mid intertidal by B via CE.
Gause
Principle on competitive exclusion. Studied predation and created a simple system of it
Tansley
Ex of competition using 2 types of bedstaw in their home soils to show that one species will interfere with other
Frank
Population regulation of daphnia
Pearl and Reed
Logistic equation
Emlen and Oring
how does polygyny develop
Grime
Stress and Disturbance - R, K and S species
Macarthur and Wilson
Populations of species on islands - R and K selected

Macarthurs warblers - resource partitioning

Number of species is a balance between immigration and extinction
Hutchinson
Copepodology for the Ornothologist - to show LH strategies
Southwood
How to habitats vary in time and space?
Reznick and Endler
Guppies in trinidad to show LH strategies.
