Eco-evolutionary dynamics (2016, background): “…(Thompson 1998; Hairston et al. 2005; Coulson et al. 2006a; Saccheri & Hanski 2006; Fussmann et al. 2007; Kinnison & Hairston 2007; Kokko & Lopez-Sepulcre 2007; Hughes et al. 2008) by examining the interplay between ecology and evolution at multiple levels, i.e. ‘eco-evolutionary dynamics’.”
Multiple plant traits shape the genetic basis of herbivore community assembly (2015, background): “Therefore, we need studies that screen plant traits in detail at both the leaf and whole-plant level to understand the mechanisms underlying herbivore community responses (Hughes et al. 2008; Hersch-Green, Turley & Johnson 2011).”
Human influence lowers plant genetic diversity in communities with extinction debt (2009, background): “Loss of genetic diversity, however, is associated with lower fitness and higher extinction risk (Hughes et al. 2008; Jump, Marchant & Peńuelas 2009).”
Evolution of plant materials for ecological restoration: insights from the applied and basic literature (2017, background): “Genetic diversity (Ne) and phenotypic diversity have also been shown to confer stability at the ecosystem level (reviewed in Hughes et al. 2008; Hautier et al. 2015).”
What Seeds to Plant in the Great Basin? Comparing Traits Prioritized in Native Plant Cultivars and Releases with those that Promote Survival in the Field (2015, background): “An abundance of evidence supports the importance of maintaining diversity in natural systems, with cascading effects of plant diversity on ecosystem function, community structure, and diversity of other species guilds (Crutsinger et al. 2006; Hughes et al. 2008; Hooper et al. 2012).”
Dispersal response to climate change: scaling down to intraspecific variation (2015, background): “Given the importance of intraspecific variation in ecological and evolutionary processes (Hughes et al. 2008; Bolnick et al. 2011; Dall et al. 2012), we advocate acknowledging individual variation in preferred temperature and dispersal as one of the priorities in climate change research and range sh”
Evolutionary ecology of plant defences against herbivores (2011, background): “Functional Ecology 2011 British Ecological Society, Functional Ecology, 25, 305–311 Whitham et al. 2006; Johnson & Stinchcombe 2007; Wade 2007; Hughes et al. 2008; Whitham et al. 2008).”
Cryptic biodiversity loss linked to global climate change (2011, background): “Genetic diversity has important ecological consequences for populations, communities and ecosystem”
Plant genetic diversity yields increased plant productivity and herbivore performance (2010, background): “The identification of phenotypic plasticity and trait differences associated with diversity effects has been previously omitted from many biodiversity studies and constitutes a promising direction for future research (Hughes et al. 2008).”
Biodiversity and Climate Change: Integrating Evolutionary and Ecological Responses of Species and Communities (2010, background): “Genetic composition of populations, that is, genotype identity but also genetic diversity, was thus shown to influence the community structure of natural enemies and competitors and a number of ecosystem processes (Bailey et al. 2009, Hughes et al. 2008a, Vellend & Geber 2005, Whitham et al. 2006).”
Genetic diversity increases regional variation in phenological dates in response to climate change (2010, background): “…so as a result of the responses to temperature and to support predictions of the effects of climate change on the phenological timings of various species in light of predictions of the rapid loss of genetic diversity in many species and increasing air temperatures (IPCC, 2007; Hughes et al., 2008).”
Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences of Environmental Change and Management Actions for Migrating Fish (2019, background): “establishment success, reduce extinction risk, enable populations and species to cope with environmental change and adapt to novel conditions, and increase productivity, functioning and resilience of ecosystems (Hughes et al., 2008; Schindler et al., 2010, 2015; Bolnick et al., 2011; Wennersten and ”
Low connectivity and declining genetic variability along a depth gradient in Corallium rubrum populations (2011, background): “Indeed, genetic diversity can also affect productivity, growth and stability, as well as inter-specific interactions within communities, and ecosystem-level processes (Hughes et al. 2008).”
