• Invasion by the amphipod Gammarus pulex alters community composition of native freshwater macroinvertebrates (2006, background): “Understanding the mechanisms and patterns of biodiversity decline is crucial in aquatic systems given the alarming loss rates at local and global scales as compared to terrestrial systems (Sala et al., 2000; Gessner et al., 2004).”
• Predicting the impact of ocean acidification on benthic biodiversity: What can animal physiology tell us? (2008, background): “…that the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functions has been a defining feature of ecology in the last decade (Chapin et al., 1998; Loreau et al., 2001), and that investigation and discussions have at last encompassed marine habitats (e.g., Gessner et al., 2004; Worm et al., 2006).”
• Effects of litter diversity on decomposition and biological colonization of submerged litter in temperate and tropical streams (2012, background): “…concern because the planet is undergoing a 6th wave of extinctions, which most consider anthropogenically driven, and because our knowledge about the relationship between species diversity and ecosystem function is still incipient (Chapin et al. 1998, Gessner et al. 2004, Cardinale et al. 2006).”
• Biomass, diversity and production of rocky shore macroalgae at two nutrient enrichment and wave action levels (2010, background): “In this context, aquatic ecosystems have proven well suited for the study of BEF-questions with a great potential also for the contribution of general ecological theory (Gessner et al. 2004).”
