Ecological and evolutionary insights from species invasions. (2007, background): “Predatory roles include all pairwise interactions between species where one species benefits and the other experiences a cost; this includes predation, herbivory, parasitism and infectious disease; mutualisms are also known to be important in many cases of species invasion [57, 58 ].”
Upwelling control of positive interactions over mesoscales: a new link between bottom-up and top-down processes on rocky shores (2005, background): “Direct positive interactions that result from biotic habitat modification have recently received renewed attention (Stachowicz 2001, Bruno et al. 2003).”
Role of nurse plants in Araucaria Forest expansion over grassland in south Brazil (2006, background): “Isolated trees and shrubs established on grassland can facilitate (sensu Bruno et al. 2003 ) the germination and growth of forest woody species beneath their canopies.”
How to monitor ecological communities cost-efficiently: The example of plant–pollinator networks (2010, methodology): “Re-establishing the role of facilitative species is often the key to restoring functions of the original system (Bruno et al., 2003).”
DIVERSITY–PRODUCTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS IN STREAMS VARY AS A FUNCTION OF THE NATURAL DISTURBANCE REGIME (2005, background): “…increases with species richness (Vandermeer 1989, Mulder et al. 2001, Cardinale and Palmer 2002, Cardinale et al. 2002), and that positive interactions are often more frequent and intense in harsh and variable environments (Bertness and Leonard 1997, Callaway and Walker 1997, Bruno et al. 2003).”
Climate change impacts on marine ecosystems. (2012, background): “Third, biological interactions (predation, competition, and others) may constrain, or in some cases expand (Bruno et al. 2003), the habitable range of conditions or the realized niche of a species.”
Nurse plant theory and its application in ecological restoration in lower subtropics of China (2008, background): “Nursing effect is mainly accomplished by the interactions between plants, which influence community structure and dynamic performance intensively and the appearance or absence of specific species [2,3].”
Potential for landscape-scale positive interactions among tropical marine ecosystems (2014, background): “The idea of facilitation is generally considered in ecological community theory (Bruno et al. 2003).”
Impacts of bottom and suspended cultures of mussels Mytilus spp. on the surrounding sedimentary environment and macrobenthic biodiversity (2009, background): “These organisms, termed foundation species by Bruno and Bertness (2001), create (facilitate) habitat for many associated species, and have been recognized as important drivers of biodiversity (Bruno et al. 2003).”
Invasibility and species richness of island endemic arthropods: a general model of endemic vs. exotic species (2006, background): “…of invasibility often provide contradictory results in which species richness and dominance facilitate or impede the invasion success of introduced species (Mack et al., 2000; Kolar & Lodge, 2001; Moore et al., 2001; Rosenzweig, 2001; Kennedy et al., 2002; Bruno et al., 2003; Smith et al., 2004).”
