Biodiversity Regulation of Ecosystem Services (2005, background): “…resistance in experiments in which biodiversity and community composition have been manipulated while holding the habitat conditions constant (e.g. Stachowicz et al. 1999; Dukes 2002; Naeem et al. 2000; Hector et al. 2001; Kennedy et al. 2002; Fargione et al. 2003; van Ruijven et al. 2003).”
The invasion paradox: reconciling pattern and process in species invasions. (2007, background): “Many experimental studies of NERRs suggest a negative relationship at fine scales; we refer the reader to several recent reviews of these studies (Levine and D’Antonio 1999, Hector et al. 2001, Herben et al. 2004, Levine et al. 2004).”
NULL MODELS OF EXOTIC INVASION AND SCALE‐DEPENDENT PATTERNS OF NATIVE AND EXOTIC SPECIES RICHNESS (2004, result): “…is consistent with this theory; nearly all studies reporting a negative relationship between native species richness and invasion success are based on small-scale experiments (Hector et al. 2001) or natural surveys of native and exotic species richness at small scales (Brown and Peet 2003).”
Effect of burning and mowing on grass and forb diversity in a long-term grassland experiment (2004, background): “Diversity should play an important role in ecosystem function in terms of invasion resistance (Tilman 1997; Dukes 2001; Hector et al. 2001) and stability of production (Johnson et al.”
Niche dimensionality links biodiversity and invasibility of microbial communities (2013, unknown): “(Hector et al. 2001; Kennedy et al. 2002; Fargione & Tilman 2005), with contrasting results likely depending in”
Invasion in space and time: non‐native species richness and relative abundance respond to interannual variation in productivity and diversity (2004, background): “…studies have measured the species richness of invaders and found both positive (Palmer & Maurer 1997; Crawley et al. 1999; Foster et al. 2002) and negative (Tilman 1997; Knops et al. 1999; Hector et al. 2001; Troumbis et al. 2002) relationships with species richness of the resident community.”
A biogeographical approach to plant invasions: the importance of studying exotics in their introduced and native range (2005, result): “In contrast, experiments using synthetic assemblages that vary in diversity have usually shown the opposite pattern, with more diverse assemblages being less invasible (Knops et al. 1999; Naeem et al. 2000; Hector et al. 2001; Dukes 2002; Stachowicz et al. 2002; but see Palmer & Maurer 1997).”
Facilitation and the invasibility of plant communities (2021, background): “…facilitation produced by high species diversity resists invasion, ideas that are consistent with several BEF studies (Byun et al., 2013; Dukes, 2001; Hector et al., 2001; Kennedy et al., 2002; Maron & Marler, 2007; Naeem et al., 2000; Tilman, 1997; Yang et al., 2017; Zavaleta & Hulvey, 2004).”
Opposite relationships between invasibility and native species richness at patch versus landscape scales (2005, background): “…to greater spatial and temporal use of resources, including nutrients (Knops et al. 1999, Naeem et al. 2000, Hector et al. 2001), water (Dukes 2001), light (Naeem et al. 2000, Knops et al. 1999), and physical space (Stachowicz et al. 1999, Hector et al. 2001) by more diverse resident communities.”
EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: A CONSENSUS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE (2005, background): “…biodiversity has led to widespread concern for a number of both market (e.g., ecotourism, ‘‘mining’’ for medicines) and non-market (e.g., ethical, aesthetic) reasons (Barbier et al. 1995, Kunin and Lawton 1996, Schwartz et al. 2000, Hector et al. 2001b, Minns et al. 2001, Sax and Gaines 2003).”
Overyielding in grassland communities: testing the sampling effect hypothesis with replicated biodiversity experiments (2002, methodology): “Using standardized protocols we established field sites in the UK at Silwood Park (Hector et al. 2000a; Hector et al. 2001) and Sheffield, and at single localities in Germany (SchererLorenzen 1999), Ireland, Greece (Troumbis et al. 2000), Portugal (Caldeira et al. 2001), Sweden (Mulder et al. 1999)…”
Plant functional group identity and diversity determine biotic resistance to invasion by an exotic grass (2013, background): “…and this result is consistent with previous community-scale experimental studies on multiple invaders (Tilman 1997; Knops et al. 1999; Naeem et al. 2000; Hector et al. 2001; Dukes 2002; Kennedy et al. 2002; Frankow-Lindberg et al. 2009) and specifically against P. australis (Peter & Burdick 2010).”
