The Janzen–Connell (J-C) hypothesis suggests that specialized natural enemies cause distance‐or density‐dependent mortality among host plants and is regarded as an important mechanism for species coexistence. However, there remains significant debate over the generality and magnitude of J-C effects, especially its role in shaping macro-scale diversity patterns.
