The Role of Biodiversity in the Functioning of Freshwater and Marine Benthic Ecosystems (2004, unknown): “Moreover, experiments involving several trophic levels are essential to determine the full range of direct and indirect top-down and bottomup effects in benthic food webs (Duffy 2002, Petchey et al. 2004 ).”
A measure for assessing functional diversity in ecological communities (2009, background): “species richness) have been supplemented or even replaced by metrics which inform on the functional attributes of communities in both basic and applied ecological studies ( Petchey et al. 2004a ).”
Biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and food webs in fresh waters: assembling the jigsaw puzzle (2009, methodology): “experiments and there is also the possibility that statistically ‘significant’ results have been overemphasized because it is harder to publish ‘non-relationships’, creating a potential bias in meta-analyses (Giller et al., 2004; Petchey et al., 2004; Hunter & Schmidt, 2004).”
Relationships between structure and function in streams contrasting in temperature (2009, background): “Interactions between these trophic levels have important effects on ecosystem structure and functioning (Petchey et al., 2004).”
Documented and Potential Biological Impacts of Recreational Fishing: Insights for Management and Conservation (2006, background): “Especially predatory fish species (Duffy, 2002; Petchey et al., 2004) are sensitive against depensatory effects following high exploitation rates.”
Understanding the Effects of Marine Biodiversity on Communities and Ecosystems (2007, background): “…habitat degradation has caused a skewing of trophic structure toward dominance at lower levels and the general alteration of aquatic and terrestrial food webs (Duffy 2003, Jones et al. 2004, Pauly et al. 1998, Petchey et al. 2004). www.annualreviews.org • Effects of Marine Biodiversity 743 A nn u.”
Species richness changes across two trophic levels simultaneously affect prey and consumer biomass (2005, background): “…al. 2002; Loreau et al. 2002 for overviews), it is not until recently that the multitrophic effects of diversity change have been analysed (Duffy 2002; Raffaelli et al. 2002; Duffy et al. 2003; Thébault & Loreau 2003; Fox 2004; Hillebrand & Cardinale 2004; Petchey et al. 2004; Ives et al. 2005).”
Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning: emerging issues and their experimental test in aquatic environments (2004, unknown): “Schmid et al. (2002) have identified some of these issues in relation to the next generation of biodiversity experiments on terrestrial plant communities and Raffaelli et al. (2002) and Petchey et al. (2004) consider experimental and theoretical approaches to multitrophic systems.”
Chapter 5 - Food Web Structure and Stability in 20 Streams Across a Wide pH Gradient (2010, background): “we aimed to remove the possible confounding effect of pH, which is also positively correlated with species richness) (e.g. Olesen et al., 2010; Petchey et al., 2004).”
