piecewiseSEM: Piecewise structural equation modelling in r for ecology, evolution, and systematics (2015, methodology): “The model fit the data adequately based on output from a χ 2 goodness-of-fit test ( 𝜒 52 = 8.784, 𝑃 = 0.118 ).”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “In kelp forests, habitat loss and fragmentation due to storms simplify marine food webs, mainly by decreasing diversity and complexity at higher trophic levels, resulting in shorter food chains (Byrnes et al., 2011).”
The rise of Laminaria ochroleuca in the Western English Channel (UK) and comparisons with its competitor and assemblage dominant Laminaria hyperborea (2015, background): “2008; Moy & Christie 2012), storminess (Byrnes et al. 2011) indirect effects of overfishing (Ling 2008) and competitive interactions (Farrell & Fletcher 2006) can influence kelp species distributions and require further study.”
Habitat degradation increases functional originality in highly diverse coral reef fish assemblages (2016, background): “The third and final proviso relates to the longlasting impacts of habitat degradation (Gardner et al. 2005) and the predicted intensification and increased frequency of natural disturbances due to human- mediated changes in large- scale climatic patterns (Emanuel 2005, Byrnes et al. 2011).”
Guidelines for a graph-theoretic implementation of structural equation modeling (2012, background): “For example, there is currently keen interest in the relative importance of top-down versus bottom-up control in food webs, in part because of the implications for environmental protection needs (Riginos and Grace 2008, Byrnes et al. 2011).”
lavaan.survey: An R Package for Complex Survey Analysis of Structural Equation Models (2014, background): “Outside of the realm of complex surveys clustering may also occur, for instance in Byrnes et al. (2011)’s analysis of the eﬀect of storms on kelp forest food webs, where variables such as kelp density and species richness are likely correlated across sites that are geographically close to each…”
Production and fate of kelp detritus (2012, unknown): “Storms that cause large wave events and reduce kelp biomass (Gerard 1976, Luning 1979, Gunnill 1985, Seymour et al. 1989, Reed et al. 2008) are likely to have greater long-term effects as the incidence of severe storm events increases (Easterling et al. 2000, Byrnes et al. 2011).”
