Bias in the detection of negative density dependence in plant communities

Detto, Matteo; Visser, Marco D.; Wright, S. Joseph; Pacala, Stephen W. (2019)

Regression dilution is a statistical inference bias that causes underestimation of the strength of dependency between two variables when the predictors are error-prone proxies (EPPs). EPPs are widely used in plant community ...
Distorted-distance models for directional dispersal: a general framework with application to a wind-dispersed tree

van Putten, Bram; Visser, Marco D.; Muller-Landau, Helene C.; Jansen, Patrick A. (2012)

1. Seed and pollen dispersal is often directionally biased, because of the inherent directionality of wind and many other dispersal vectors. Nevertheless, the vast majority of studies of seed and pollen dispersal fit ...
Functional traits as predictors of vital rates across the life cycle of tropical trees

Visser, Marco D.; Bruijning, Marjolein; Wright, S. Joseph; Muller-Landau, Helene C.; Jongejans, Eelke; Comita, Liza S.; De Kroon, Hans (2016)
A host–parasite model explains variation in liana infestation among co-occurring tree species

Visser, Marco D.; Muller-Landau, Helene C.; Schnitzer, Stefan A.; Kroon, Hans de; Jongejans, Eelke; Wright, S. Joseph (2018)

Lianas are structural parasites of trees that reduce the growth, survival and reproduction of their hosts. Given that co-occurring tree species differ strongly in the proportion of individuals that are infested by lianas ...
Negative density dependence of seed dispersal and seedling recruitment in a Neotropical palm

Jansen, Patrick A.; Visser, Marco D.; Wright, S. Joseph; Rutten, Gemma; Muller-Landau, Helene C. (2014)
Quantifying seed dispersal kernels from truncated seed-tracking data

Hirsch, Ben T.; Visser, Marco D.; Kays, Roland; Jansen, Patrick A. (2011)
Quantifying the role of wood density in explaining interspecific variation in growth of tropical trees

Francis, Emily J.; Muller-Landau, Helene C.; Wright, S. Joseph; Visser, Marco D.; Iida, Yoshiko; Fletcher, Christine; Hubbell, Stephen P.; Kassim, Abd Rahman (2017)

Aim To evaluate how wood density relates to tree growth rates in simple models and two tropical forests. Location Barro Colorado Island, Panama; and Pasoh Forest Reserve, Malaysia. Time Period 1986 2010. Major Taxa Studied ...
R-code from "Tree species vary widely in their tolerance for liana infestation: a case study of differential host response to generalist parasites"

Visser, Marco D.; Muller-Landau, Helene C.; Wright, S. Joseph (Smithsonian Research Online, 2017)

R-code supplied as in package format from Visser et al 2017 in the Journal of Ecology. Visser MD, Schnitzer SA, Muller- Landau HC, et al. Tree species vary widely in their tolerance for liana infestation: A case study of ...
Speeding Up Ecological and Evolutionary Computations in R; Essentials of High Performance Computing for Biologists

Visser, Marco D.; McMahon, Sean M.; Merow, Cory; Dixon, Philip M.; Record, Sydne; Jongejans, Eelke (2015)

Computation has become a critical component of research in biology. A risk has emerged that computational and programming challenges may limit research scope, depth, and quality. We review various solutions to common ...
Surviving in a Cosexual World: A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Dioecy in Tropical Trees

Bruijning, Marjolein; Visser, Marco D.; Muller-Landau, Helene C.; Wright, S. Joseph; Comita, Liza S.; Hubbell, Stephen P.; de Kroon, Hans; Jongejans, Eelke (2017)
Tree species vary widely in their tolerance for liana infestation: A case study of differential host response to generalist parasites

Visser, Marco D.; Schnitzer, Stefan A.; Muller-Landau, Helene C.; Jongejans, Eelke; de Kroon, Hans; Comita, Liza S.; Hubbell, Stephen P.; Wright, S. Joseph (2017)
Tri-trophic interactions affect density dependence of seed fate in a tropical forest palm

Visser, Marco D.; Muller-Landau, Helene C.; Wright, S. Joseph; Rutten, Gemma; Jansen, Patrick A. (2011)
