Web-building spiders (e.g. _Frontinella communis_ and _Neriene radiata_) and northern pitcher plants (_Sarracenia purpurea_) are co-occurring sit-and-wait predators that may compete for shared...
Press. A Primer of Ecological Statistics. (2009)
Nicholas J. Gotelli, Ma Sinauer
In their preface the authors ask, “Why another book on statistics? ” Their answer is that they have yet to find a single text that meets two specific needs of ecologists: a general introduction...
Ellison, Aaron M., Gotelli, Nicholas J.
Carnivory has evolved independently at least six times in five angiosperm orders. In spite of these independent origins, there is a remarkable morphological convergence of carnivorous plant traps and...
Patterns and causes of species richness: a general simulation model for macroecology (2009)
Gotelli, Nicholas J., Anderson, Marti J., Hector, T. Arita, Chao, Anne, Colwell, Robert K., Connolly, Sean R., ...
Understanding the causes of spatial variation in species richness is a major research focus of biogeography and macroecology. Gridded environmental data and species richness maps have been used in...
Nicholas J. Gotelli, Paula J. Mouser, Stephen P. Hudman, Sergio E. Morales, Donald S. Ross, Aaron M. Ellison
Geographic trends in surface water chemistry and leaf tissue nutrients may reflect gradients of nutrient limitation and broad-scale anthropogenic inputs. In 24 rain-fed (ombrotrophic) peatland bogs...
Food-Web Models Predict Species Abundances in Response to Habitat Change (2006)
Nicholas J. Gotelli, Aaron M. Ellison
Plant and animal population sizes inevitably change following habitat loss, but the mechanisms underlying these changes are poorly understood. We experimentally altered habitat volume and eliminated...
ANT DIVERSITY IN PITCHER-PLANT BOGS OF MASSACHUSETTS (2002)
Aaron M. Ellison, Elizabeth J. Farnsworth, Nicholas J. Gotelli
We conducted the first systematic inventory of ant species richness in pitcher-plant bogs of Massachusetts. Twenty-six species were collected in 18 bogs during 1999 and 2000. We collected the...
Factors influencing the recruitment of two subtidal invertebrates /--by Nicholas J. Gotelli. (1985)
Typescript.
Ellison, Aaron M., Gotelli, Nicholas J.
Atmospheric transport and deposition of nutrients, especially nitrogen, is a global environmental problem with well-documented consequences for ecosystem dynamics. However, monitoring nitrogen...
Community disassembly by an invasive species
Sanders, Nathan J., Gotelli, Nicholas J., Heller, Nicole E., Gordon, Deborah M.
Invasive species pose serious threats to community structure and ecosystem function worldwide. The impacts of invasive species can be more pervasive than simple reduction of species numbers. By using...

A taxonomic wish-list for community ecology.
Community ecology seeks to explain the number and relative abundance of coexisting species. Four research frontiers in community ecology are closely tied to research in systematics and taxonomy: the...
Predicting continental-scale patterns of bird species richness with spatially explicit models
Rahbek, Carsten, Gotelli, Nicholas J, Colwell, Robert K, Entsminger, Gary L, Graves, Gary R
The causes of global variation in species richness have been debated for nearly two centuries with no clear resolution in sight. Competing hypotheses have typically been evaluated with correlative...
