Extinction order and altered community structure rapidly disrupt ecosystem functioning. (2005, background): “Second, the order of species loss with disturbance in natural communities appears to have dramatic consequences for ecological function (Petchey 2000; Jonsson et al. 2002; Ostfeld & LoGiudice 2003; Zavaleta & Hulvey 2004).”
Pollination and other ecosystem services produced by mobile organisms: a conceptual framework for the effects of land-use change. (2007, unknown): “For example, a disease host that transmits its disease infrequently to a vector can dilute the disease if more competent hosts co-occur, but may become the main source of the infection if it is the most competent host in the community (Ostfeld & LoGiudice 2003).”
Effects of environmental change on helminth infections in amphibians: exploring the emergence of Ribeiroia and Echinostoma infections in North America. (2009, background): “It is important to recognize, however, that the applicability of the dilution effect to Ribeiroia and Echinostoma infections depends critically on the patterns of community assembly and community disassembly (Ostfeld and LoGiudice 2003) .”
Biodiversity, functional roles and ecosystem services of groundwater invertebrates (2008, background): “and species-rich (Loreau et al. 2001; Ostfeld and LoGiudice 2003).”
The functional role of biodiversity in ecosystems: incorporating trophic complexity. (2007, methodology): “…model the consequences of extinction for systems where experimental tests are impractical, as has been done for mammalian vectors of lyme disease (Ostfeld & LoGiudice 2003), bioturbation by marine invertebrates (Solan et al. 2004), carbon sequestration by tropical trees (Bunker et al. 2005), and…”
Biodiversity and the functioning of seagrass ecosystems (2006, background): “Experiments (Jonsson et al. 2002, Zavaleta & Hulvey 2004) and simulations (Ostfeld & LoGiudice 2003, Solan et al. 2004) show that the identity and order in which species are lost from a system strongly influence how those losses translate to changing ecosystem functioning.”
Biodiversity Loss Affects Global Disease Ecology (2009, unknown): “For prey populations, predator removal is likely to be harmful when parasites are highly virulent, macroparasites are aggregated in their prey, hosts are long-lived, and predators select infected prey (Packer et al. 2003).”
Managing ecosystem services: what do we need to know about their ecology? (2005, background): “For example, Ostfeld & LoGiudice (2003) measured how efficiently different vertebrate hosts transmit Lyme disease to tick vectors, and then calculated the total human infection rate (or conversely, disease dilution effect) produced by vertebrate communities of differing composition.”
Why biodiversity is important to the functioning of real‐world ecosystems (2009, methodology): “To remedy this, researchers have used theory (Gross and Cardinale 2005), simulations (Petchey and Gaston 2002a; Ostfeld and LoGiudice 2003; Solan et al. 2004), and experiments (Jonsson et al. 2002; Zavaleta and Hulvey 2004) to explore effects of non-random loss scenarios.”
Impacts of biodiversity on the emergence and transmission of infectious diseases (2010, background): “The answer depends on how species composition changes as richness changes 20, 21 .”
APPLYING COMMUNITY STRUCTURE ANALYSIS TO ECOSYSTEM FUNCTION: EXAMPLES FROM POLLINATION AND CARBON STORAGE (2005, unknown): “When species are added at random (as they usually are in diversity–function experiments, e.g., Hector et al. 1999b), or in response to known environmental patterns (e.g., Ostfeld and LoGiudice 2003), different patterns may emerge.”
Ecosystem structure, function, and restoration success: Are they related? (2006, background): “Similarly, species loss is not always accompanied by functional decline, or at least not at the same rate (Ostfeld & LoGiudice 2003; Smith & Knapp 2003).”
Effects of species diversity on disease risk. (2006, background): “But in natural systems, insufficient information will usually be available to craft such a highly targeted strategy, and broader measures to foster the maintenance of species richness will be needed (Ostfeld & LoGiudice 2003).”
Effects of Host Diversity on Infectious Disease (2012, background): “Host interactions with pathogens can be affected strongly by the presence of interacting species, including predators, competitors, and other parasites, within these communities (Holt & Roy 2007, Ostfeld & Holt 2004, Packer et al. 2003).”
WEAK VS. STRONG INVADERS OF NATURAL PLANT COMMUNITIES: ASSESSING INVASIBILITY AND IMPACT (2005, background): “Such information on strong invader impacts is lacking yet critical to understanding implications of diversity loss on community and ecosystem function (Parker et al. 1999, Loreau et al. 2001, Ostfeld and LoGiudice 2003).”
