• Dominance and compensatory growth in phytoplankton communities under salinity stress (2010, result): “This is consistent with results from experimental biodiversity stability studies that found increasing resilience to be related to the increasing dominance of fast growing species (Steiner et al., 2005; 2 2006).”
• Biodiversity effects on productivity and stability of marine macroalgal communities: the role of environmental context (2009, background): “Theory and experimental evidence indicate that species richness can lead to decreased variability (increased stability) of aggregate community properties such as biomass over time (Cottingham et al. 2001, Steiner et al. 2005) and space (Loreau et al. 2003, Weigelt et al. 2008).”
• Experimental design and the outcome and interpretation of diversity-stability relations (2011, methodology): “We restricted our analysis to studies that used either the coefficient of variation (CV  standard deviation/mean, Tilman 1996) or the log of the standard deviation (Jiang et al. 2009) as the calculation of temporal variability. Both of these measures of temporal variability standardize for differen”
• The effects of long-term fertilization on the temporal stability of alpine meadow communities (2011, unknown): “This suggests increased dominance may decrease stability, but several studies have found greater stability for dominant species than for subordinate ones (Bai et al. 2004; Leps 2004; Steiner et al. 2005; Polley et al. 2007; Grman et al. 2010).”
• Identifying population‐ and community‐level mechanisms of diversity–stability relationships in experimental grasslands (2011, background): “77, which is consistent with other studies, where z values in a range between 1 and 2 have been interpreted as indicative of the portfolio effect (e.g. Tilman 1999; Steiner et al. 2005; Polley, Wilsey & Derner 2007; van Ruijven & Berendse 2007).”
• Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning (2014, background): “However, studies of population stability in aquatic foodwebs (Steiner et al. 2005, Vogt et al. 2006) found the opposite, suggesting that the complexity of interactions in foodwebs may lead to diversity-stability relationships different from those predicted by models that assume that competition is…”
• The Causes and Consequences of Compensatory Dynamics in Ecological Communities (2009, background): “Steiner et al. (2005) conducted a similar experiment and found that the stabilizing effect of increasing species richness was robust to increasing nutrient supply.”
