• The effects of long-term fertilization on the temporal stability of alpine meadow communities (2011, unknown): “Evenness is thought to increase stability by increasing effective diversity, the potential for compensatory dynamics, and portfolio effects (Doak et al. 1998; Cottingham et al. 2001).”
• COMMUNITY DISASSEMBLY, BIODIVERSITY LOSS, AND THE EROSION OF AN ECOSYSTEM SERVICE (2003, background): “2000, Cottingham et al. 2001, Loreau et al. 2001, Schwartz et al. 2000).”
• Biodiversity and ecosystem function: the consumer connection (2002, background): “The idea that diversity begets stability has a long and tumultuous history (MacArthur 1955, Elton 1958, May 1974, Goodman 1975, Pimm 1984, Cottingham et al. 2001).”
• Microbial seed banks: the ecological and evolutionary implications of dormancy (2011, background): “Ecological theory predicts that biodiversity promotes the stability of ecosystem processes via functional redundancy, a condition that arises when there is overlap in the metabolic capacities of different specie”
• The functional role of biodiversity in ecosystems: incorporating trophic complexity. (2007, background): “…diversity impact average values of ecosystem properties, while acknowledging that the temporal aspect of species interactions provides a third functional dimension, which influences how biodiversity affects community stability (Cottingham et al. 2001) and is an important topic in its own right.”
• Dynamic interactions of life and its landscape: feedbacks at the interface of geomorphology and ecology (2010, background): “…Balvanera et al., 2006; Cardinale et al., 2006; Cardinale et al., 2009), and that temporal fl uctuations in biomass are smaller in more diverse communities (MacArthur, 1955; Doak et al., 1998; Cottingham et al., 2001; Amarasekare, 2003; Tilman et Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

• Capturing the cornerstones of coral reef resilience: linking theory to practice (2008, background): “The role of biodiversity for the stability, function, and resilience of ecosystems has been heavily debated in the literature, but is argued to provide ecological insurance in the face of change (e.g., MacArthur 1955; Holling 1973; Ehrlich and Ehrlich 1981; Naeem et al. 1995; McGrady-Steed et al. 19”
• Effects of rain forest logging on species richness and assemblage composition of small mammals in Southeast Asia (2007, unknown): “…may lead to simultaneous changes in species composition and a strong increase in species that are tolerant to logging-induced habitat changes (Cottingham et al., 2001); on the other hand, species composition might change but compensatory changes in species populations might maintain certain…”
