• A synthesis of subdisciplines: predator–prey interactions, and biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (2004, background): “However, just as consumer diversity can have top–down effects on resources, resource diversity can have bottom–up effects on consumers (Root 1973; Andow 1991; Hillebrand & Cardinale 2004; Aquilino et al. 2005).”
• Biodiversity and the functioning of seagrass ecosystems (2006, result): “This buffering effect of diversity against top-down control is supported by a meta-analysis of periphyton–grazer experiments (Hillebrand & Cardinale 2004), a metaanalysis of terrestrial trophic cascade experiments (Schmitz et al. 2000), data on parasitoid control in terrestrial food webs (Montoya…”
• Marine biodiversity and ecosystem function relationships: The potential for practical monitoring applications (2015, unknown): “For example, Finke and Denno (2004), Hillebrand and Cardinale (2004), Spivak et al. (2007), O'Gorman et al. (2008), Edwards et al. (2010), Reynolds and Bruno (2012) and Hensel and Silliman (2013) all found that changes in species richness at differing trophic levels also induced structural and…”
• BIODIVERSITY LOSS AND ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN NUMBER AND IDENTITY OF SPECIES (2005, background): “Diversity changes at one trophic level can have profound impacts on processes at other levels (McNaughton et al. 1988, Menge 1995, Power et al. 1996, Haddad et al. 2001, Hillebrand and Cardinale 2004).”
• The functional role of biodiversity in ecosystems: incorporating trophic complexity. (2007, methodology): “Hillebrand & Cardinale (2004) conducted a meta-analysis of data from 172 experimental manipulations of herbivores across a wide range of aquatic ecosystems to test the hypothesis that algal diversity modifies the magnitude of herbivory.”
• Species richness changes across two trophic levels simultaneously affect prey and consumer biomass (2005, background): “This contrasts with the findings of a recent meta-analysis, which found decreasing consumer effects with increasing prey diversity (Hillebrand & Cardinale 2004).”
• Why biodiversity is important to oceanography: potential roles of genetic, species, and trophic diversity in pelagic ecosystem processes (2006, background): “Second, a recent meta-analysis of 172 experiments showed that grazing impact on total biomass of benthic microalgae was reduced as algal species richness increased (Hillebrand & Cardinale 2004).”
