• Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning (2014, background): “Analysis of a simple linear food chain revealed that the equilibrium abundance of any particular trophic level converged on an intermediate value as the number of trophic levels increased (Loreau 2010).”
• Cultural Niche Construction: An Introduction (2011, background): “The field of ‘‘eco-evolutionary dynamics’’ emphasizes that ecological and evolutionary changes are intimately linked and may often occur on the same time scales (Pelletier et al. 2009; Post and Palkovacs 2009; Loreau 2010).”
• The Causes and Consequences of Compensatory Dynamics in Ecological Communities (2009, background): “A deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of compensation and compensatory dynamics is a major challenge for the emerging synthesis between community and ecosystem ecology (Loreau 2010).”

• Under niche construction: an operational bridge between ecology, evolution, and ecosystem science (2014, background): “…tests about whether such effects can influence selection pressures so as to either promote or constrain further evolutionary divergence (Losos 2010, Yoder et al. 2010) It is important to identify the modifiable components of the environment that might underly selection pressures…”
• Maximal feeding with active prey-switching: A kill-the-winner functional response and its effect on global diversity and biogeography (2014, unknown): “This introduces a new element to the prey community assembly which now depends not only on the nutrient concentration but also on the predators’ concentration (Grover, 1994; Loreau, 2010).”
