THE NATURE AND CONSEQUENCES OF INDIRECT EFFECTS IN ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES

Wootton, J. Timothy·1994·Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics

Abstract

mutualism. interaction. Abstract Indirect effects occur when the impact of one species on another requires the presence of a third species. They can arise in two general ways: through linked chains of direct interactions, and when a species changes the interactions among species. Indirect eff ects have been uncovered largely by experimen tal studies that have monitored the response of many species and discovered unexpected results, although some studies have looked for specific indirect effects predicted from simple models. The char acteristics of such approaches make it likely that the many indirect effects remain uncovered, but the appli­

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
