• Identifying population‐ and community‐level mechanisms of diversity–stability relationships in experimental grasslands (2011, background): “So far, stabilizing (Kolasa & Li 2003; Valone & Hoffmann 2003a,b) and neutral effects (McGrady-Steed & Morin 2000; Steiner et al. 2005; Flynn et al. 2008) on populations have been described, butmost studies in grassland systems have reported a destabilizing effect of species diversity on temporal…”
• Biodiversity and ecosystem function: the consumer connection (2002, background): “Aggregate abundance or biomass of multi-species assemblages is less variable than that of any component species in microbial microcosms (McGrady-Steed and Morin 2000), herbivorous zooplankton of North American lakes (Frost et al. 1995), and large vertebrate herbivores of East Africa (Prins and…”
• The Causes and Consequences of Compensatory Dynamics in Ecological Communities (2009, background): “McGrady-Steed & Morin (2000) showed a decline in the variability of total abundance within trophic groups (e.g., herbivores and predators), but they did not report an analysis of the species dynamics through time, so we cannot infer that compensatory dynamics increased with species richness.”
• Contrasting effects of diversity on the temporal stability of plant populations (2007, background): “At least one of these studies found different relationships between stability and diversity for primary producers, herbivores, bacterivores and predators (McGrady-Steed and Morin 2000).”
• Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning: emerging issues and their experimental test in aquatic environments (2004, unknown): “Observational and experimental data have, however, shown a negative relationship between species numbers and their densities, indicating that the activities of lost species can be compensated to some extent by an increase in the population sizes of the remaining species (McGrady-Steed and Morin 2000”
• Response diversity determines the resilience of ecosystems to environmental change (2013, background): “Most theoretical and experimental studies assume a closed system in which compensatory dynamics can involve only the original members of a local community (e.g. McGrady-Steed & Morin, 2000; Wohl, Arora & Gladstone, 2004).”
• ASSEMBLY HISTORY INTERACTS WITH ECOSYSTEM SIZE TO INFLUENCE SPECIES DIVERSITY (2004, methodology): “The population dynamics data (Appendices A, B, and C) and previous studies (McGrady-Steed and Morin 2000, Fukami 2001, Fox 2002, Fukami and Morin 2003) indicate that 40 days is more than enough time for all species to reach carrying capacity, even in the largest microcosm used here.”
