Capturing the complexity of biodiversity: A critical review of economic valuation studies of biological diversity (2015, background): “According to critics, the term is not scientific, but advocative (Takacs, 1996), and represents a very vague, “pseudocognate” 1 concept (Gaston, 1996a; see also Kahn et al., 2001).”
Biodiversity of a continental shelf soft-sediment macrobenthos community (2001, background): “The most prevalent use of the term ‘biodiversity’ is as a synonym for the ‘variety of life’ (Gaston 1996).”
European Red List of non-marine molluscs (2011, background): “Interestingly, this trend continues to the eastern Mediterranean area, the degree of endemism for Turkey has quite recently been calculated as being 65 %, based on a data stock of 730 species level taxa (Gümüş and Neubert 2009).”
Next‐generation monitoring of aquatic biodiversity using environmental DNA metabarcoding (2016, background): “Global biodiversity loss represents one of the most serious environmental crises of the 20th and 21st centuries, with considerable impact on both ecosystem services and the health of our planet (Pimm et al. 2014).”
Nitrogen as a threat to European terrestrial biodiversity - Chapter 20 (2011, background): “Species diversity can also be described at the compositional (e.g. families, orders), structural, or functional levels (Gaston, 1996 ).”
Patterns, processes and vulnerability of Southern Ocean benthos: a decadal leap in knowledge and understanding (2013, background): “, species and generic) level based on both morphological and/or genetic data sets (Ingels et al. 2006; Fonseca et al. 2007; Pawlowski et al. 2007; Gheerardyn and Veit-Köhler 2009).”
Influence of benthic macrofauna community shifts on ecosystem functioning in shallow estuaries (2014, background): “…induced or natural perturbations leading to changes in dominant functional traits have strong implications for the biogeochemical functioning of www.frontiersin.org September 2014 | Volume 1 | Article 41 | 1 MARINE SCIENCE ecosystems (Bulling et al., 2006; Ieno et al., 2006; Solan et al., 2006).”
Relationships among levels of biodiversity and the relevance of intraspecific diversity in conservation - a project synopsis (2008, background): “However, only taxa having ranges completely confined to smaller biogeographic regions (i.e. Western Alps, Southern Alps, Eastern Alps, Western Carpathians, South-eastern Carpathians) or having at least 3/4 of their ranges within these regions were considered as endemic elements in subsequent analyse”
Soft-sediment benthic biodiversity on the continental shelf in relation to environmental variability (2002, background): “However, the number of studies that have explored any patterns of β diversity is small (Gaston & Williams 1996), and few marine β diversity studies have been undertaken as yet.”
Functional Molecular Diversity of Marine Dissolved Organic Matter Is Reduced during Degradation (2017, background): “Although biodiversity indices were designed in the context of species, they can be adapted to other organizational levels (Magurran, 2010), such as molecular mixtures.”
