Negative density dependence promotes persistence of a globally rare yet locally abundant plant species Oenothera coloradensis by Stears, AE, Heidel, B, Paniw, M, Salguero-Gómez, R, Laughlin, DC

“…We propose that high micro-site abundances within a spatially heterogeneous environment enables this species to persist, allowing it to sidestep the demographic and genetic challenges of small population size that rare species typically face. The five mechanisms of persistence explored in our study have been demonstrated as effective strategies in other species, and the fact that only one of them had strong support here supports the idea that globally rare species can employ distinct persistence strategies. …”
