• Biodiversity and ecosystem function: the consumer connection (2002, background): “Jonsson and Malmqvist (2000) measured the influence of three species of shredding aquatic insects on decomposition of leaf debris over 6.5 weeks in a laboratory assay.”
• Biodiversity‐ecosystem function research: Insights gained from streams (2010, background): “- BEF studies in streams first examined looked at the importance of animal diversity for plant litter decomposition (see Jonsson and Malmqvist, 2000; Ruesink and Srivastava, 2001), at the time a very new topic.”
• A synthesis of subdisciplines: predator–prey interactions, and biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (2004, background): “The former is the mainstay of PPI studies, whereas the latter is typical of BEF studies of plants consuming nutrients (Tilman et al. 1996; Hector et al. 1999) or detritivores consuming detritus (Jonsson & Malmqvist 2000; Duffy et al. 2001; Cardinale et al. 2002).”
• Ecosystem Processes Performed by Unionid Mussels in Stream Mesocosms: Species Roles and Effects of Abundance (2004, methodology): “In addition, our experimental design used single-species treatments, but the function of multi-species assemblages may not be additive (Jonsson & Malmqvist, 2000; Cardinale et al., 2002).”
• Community and foodweb ecology of freshwater mussels (2008, background): “…are widespread (Bertness and Callaway 1994, Bruno et al. 2003, Altieri et al. 2007), and positive interactions have been documented frequently in freshwater systems (Jonsson and Malmqvist 2000, Crowl et al. 2001, Jonsson and Malmqvist 2003, McCabe and Gotelli 2003, Hooper et al. 2005).”
• Impacts of stream acidification on litter breakdown: implications for assessing ecosystem functioning (2004, result): “This finding contrasts with laboratory feeding trials in which deliberate experimental manipulations of shredder richness enhanced leaf breakdown significantly (Jonsson & Malmqvist 2000).”
• Reciprocal effects of host plant and natural enemy diversity on herbivore suppression: an empirical study of a model tritrophic system (2005, background): “We can think of two alternative explanations for this result: either intraspecific competition was reduced in high diversity treatments ( Jonsson and Malmqvist 2000 ), or consumption rates were enhanced by interspecific interactions among natural enemies (Losey and Denno 1998, Sih et al. 1998, Wilby”
• Biodiversity and the functioning of seagrass ecosystems (2006, background): “…efficiency of resource use by sessile marine invertebrates (Stachow- icz et al. 1999, 2002), stream suspension feeders (Cardinale et al. 2002), mobile grazers (Naeem & Li 1998, Duffy et al. 2003), aquatic detritivores (Jonsson & Malmqvist 2000), and heterotrophic bacteria (Naeem et al. 2000).”
• Functional diversity: a review of methodology and current knowledge in freshwater macroinvertebrate research (2016, background): “…material from water (Cardinale et al., 2002) and because the effects of detritivore diversity on leaf litter processing has become a flagship of stream ecology research (Jonsson & Malmqvist, 2000, 2003; Gessner et al., 2010; Lecerf & Richardson, 2010; Frainer et al., 2014; Frainer & McKie, 2015).”
• Does mixing litter of different qualities alter stream microbial diversity and functioning on individual litter species (2009, background): “…and Cardon 2004, Swan and Palmer 2004, Hättenschwiler et al. 2005, Kominoski et al. 2007), as well as consumer-level manipulations of invertebrates (Jonsson and Malmqvist 2000, Dangles and Malmqvist 2004, Hättenschwiler and Gasser 2005) and microorganisms (Bärlocher and Corkum 2003, Dang et al.…”
• Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning: emerging issues and their experimental test in aquatic environments (2004, unknown): “There are many examples of synergisms in nature but examples in the context of a diversity /ecological functioning perspective are rare, although they do exist in aquatic ecosystems (Jonsson and Malmqvist 2000, Cardinale et al. 2002).”
• The Role of Biodiversity in the Functioning of Freshwater and Marine Benthic Ecosystems (2004, unknown): “For example, five of the seven studies that have explored the relationship between species richness and litter decomposition in fresh waters concluded that decomposer species diversity influenced decomposition rate (Jonsson and Malmqvist 2000,2003a).”
