The functional role of biodiversity in ecosystems: incorporating trophic complexity. (2007, background): “And how diversity loss at different trophic levels affects ecosystem function is important to understanding how ecosystems will respond to trophic skew in extinction (Duffy 2003; Dobson et al. 2006).”
The impacts of climate change in coastal marine systems. (2006, background): “Sea level rise may also reduce the spatial extent of biogenic habitat by outpacing the accretion rates of marshes and coral reefs (Knowlton 2001; Scavia et al. 2002).”
Species richness changes across two trophic levels simultaneously affect prey and consumer biomass (2005, background): “Conceptual models have shown that the net diversity effect of simultaneously changing diversities of two trophic levels is hard to predict (Worm & Duffy 2003), because their effects may be independent, synergistic or antagonistic (creating a zero net effect).”
Combined effects of habitat modification on trait composition and species nestedness in river invertebrates (2010, background): “among organisms as environmental constraints in any given location progressively ‘filter’ out types of species whose resource requirements are not met (Southwood, 1977; Usseglio-Polatera and Tachet, 1994; Richards et al., 1997; Duffy, 2003).”
Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function Research: Is It Relevant to Conservation? (2005, background): “…was generally achieved by removing one predator species, whereas the decrease in plant diversity involved a mean (±SD) loss of 10.9 ± 8.6 species (Duffy 2003), suggesting that the effect of losing a single species was greater when the species originated from a higher trophic level (Duffy 2003).”
Biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and food webs in fresh waters: assembling the jigsaw puzzle (2009, background): “2004), and these species often also contribute disproportionately to ecosystem functioning (Duffy, 2003; Petchey et al., 2004; Solan et al., 2004).”
Effects of vineyard management on biodiversity at three trophic levels (2010, background): “Moreover, the intensity of disturbance needed for the maintenance of high diversity may vary between different organism groups and trophic levels (Wootton, 1998; Duffy, 2003).”
Rare Species and Ecosystem Functioning (2005, background): “Pages 162–182 in J. L. Capinera, editor.”
Potential impacts of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions on Mediterranean marine ecosystems and cetaceans (2008, background): “…ecological systems are strongly correlated (e.g. Orr et al., 1992; Astraldi et al., 1995; Bombace, 2001; Hannah et al., 2002; Walther et al., 2002; Duffy, 2003; Root et al., 2003; Roessig et al., 2004) and that global warming is already affecting numerous marine species throughout the world…”
Lag times and exotic species: The ecology and management of biological invasions in slow-motion (2005, background): “This issue is critical as decisions are often made on what an invader is doing here and now, and long response times can lead us into a false sense of security (Duffy, 2003).”
