hypothesis
Species Interaction-Abiotic Stress Hypothesis
Predicts that species interactions should disappear at the stressful end of environmental gradients where abiotic conditions constrain species ranges
hypothesis
body size-temperature rule
Higher temperatures shorten larval developmental period leading to smaller adults, where body size exhibits temperature-mediated variation
hypothesis
mass ratio hypothesis
Species with greater primary production exert the main controls for the functioning of ecosystems due to greater aboveground abundance of biomass or leaf area that promotes resource uptake
