The emerging role of genetic diversity for ecosystem functioning: Estuarine macrophytes as models (2006, background): “Evidence from terrestrial systems suggests that species diversity and genetic diversity are positively correlated (Booth and Grime 2003), but current evidence does not allow an assessment of their relative importance or an evaluation of possible interactions among diversity levels.”
Running to stand still: adaptation and the response of plants to rapid climate change. (2005, background): “This will contribute to the expected changes in both the occurrence and relative abundance of individual species in plant communities (Huntley 1991; Peñuelas et al. 2002; Booth & Grime 2003).”
GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION IN CLONAL STRUCTURE IN A REEF- BUILDING CARIBBEAN CORAL, ACROPORA PALMATA (2006, background): “Populations with low clonal diversity are more vulnerable to pathogens and parasites (Lively et al. 1990, Schmid 1994, Zhu et al. 2000, Booth and Grime 2003).”
Plant genetic diversity yields increased plant productivity and herbivore performance (2010, background): “…2005) and grazing (Hughes & Stachowicz 2004), accelerate litter decomposition rates (Schweitzer et al. 2005), maintain long-term species diversity (Booth & Grime 2003; Vellend 2006), reduce plant disease severity (Zhu et al. 2000) and impact arthropod diversity and community composition (Wimp et…”
Prolonged clonal growth: escape route or route to extinction? (2005, background): “Recently, also Booth and Grime (2003) reported less tolerance to disturbance (grazing and trampling) in experimental monoclonal weedy species assemblages.”
Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function Research: Is It Relevant to Conservation? (2005, background): “Relatively few Phase 1 studies have examined the effects of genetic diversity within species (Bell 1990; Boles et al. 2004; Booth & Grime 2003; Hughes & Stachowicz 2004; Madritch & Hunter 2002–2004; Weltzin et al. 2003), and it is difficult to generalize about results.”
Filling key gaps in population and community ecology (2007, background): “In recent studies manipulating genetic diversity of plant species, but not species diversity, resulting species diversity was highest in study plots with the greatest intra-specific genetic diversity (Booth and Grime 2003).”
Biodiversity and Climate Change: Integrating Evolutionary and Ecological Responses of Species and Communities (2010, background): “Booth & Grime (2003) showed that grassland communities tend to retain greater species diversity over time when intraspecific genetic diversity is increased.”
A multi‐trait approach reveals the structure and the relative importance of intra‐ vs. interspecific variability in plant traits (2010, background): “…Hulshof & Swenson 2010), while there is growing evidence that intraspecific functional variability, as well as genetic diversity, can have significant effects on community dynamics and ecosystem functioning (Booth & Grime 2003; Boege & Dirzo 2004; Crutsinger et al. 2006; Lecerf & Chauvet 2008).”
The role of genotypic diversity in determining grassland community structure under constant environmental conditions (2007, methodology): “ Booth & Grime (2003) could have been caused by two mechanisms at the level of the genotype.”
Differential genetic influences on competitive effect and response in Arabidopsis thaliana (2005, background): “Recent evidence that intraspecific genetic diversity has significant impacts on community diversity (Booth & Grime 2003) further suggests that important functional variation occurs at a level below that of species (but see Weltzin et al. 2003).”
Phylogenetic patterns are not proxies of community assembly mechanisms (they are far better) (2015, background): “Species losses or gains due to assembly processes typically happen only after shifts in species abundances, and are hence slow (e.g. Booth & Grime 2003; Fig.”
Genetic identity of interspecific neighbours mediates plant responses to competition and environmental variation in a species‐rich grassland (2007, methodology): “In what remains the only study of its kind, Booth & Grime (2003) demonstrated a relationship between compositional stability in a community of 11 species and the genetic diversity of component populations, all sampled from within a 10 × 10 m area in the limestone grassland at Cressbrookdale,…”
Rapid Evolutionary Change and the Coexistence of Species (2011, background): “In one of the most direct tests of whether genetic variation within species can help maintain species diversity, Booth & Grime (2003) found that artificial plant communities created with multiple genotypes per species retained more species diversity after 5 years than those that began with only one…”
