The seven impediments in invertebrate conservation and how to overcome them (2011, background): “, 2002); the loss of groundwater fauna may cause the disruption of purification and bioremediation processes and consequent pollution problems (Boulton et al., 2008); the loss of coral reefs may cause diminishing returns from tourism (Moberg and Folke, 1999); among many other examples.”
Protecting the innocent: studying short-range endemic taxa enhances conservation outcomes (2011, background): “…of many short-range endemic species is being considerably improved by targeted industry-funded SRE surveys, they are providing data on only a small suite of co-occurring species and do little to understand functional ecosystems or the services they provide (e.g. Boulton et al. 2008; Mooney 2010).”
The role of organisms in hyporheic processes: gaps in current knowledge, needs for future research and applications (2012, background): “For example, Boulton et al. (2008) hypothesized that stygobiotic amphipods were shredders similar to their surface water relatives, but recent findings suggest that they are deposit feeders.”
