Community assembly along a species pool gradient: implications for multiple-scale patterns of species diversity (2004, methodology): “However, the methods give values of aij and bi more consistent with the skewed distributions of interaction strengths found in natural communities (Paine 1992; Berlow et al. 1999; McCann 2000, but see Abrams 2001; Sala and Graham 2002) than do methods that assume that aij and bi are distributed unif”
Species loss and the structure and functioning of multitrophic aquatic systems (2004, background): “Though previous studies have examined such phenomena in model food webs, revealing important effects of species richness and food web structure (Pimm 1980, Borrvall et al. 2000, Lundberg et al. 2000, Dunne et al. 2002), these studies did not expose the precise distribution of extinctions within th”
Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function Research: Is It Relevant to Conservation? (2005, background): “Studies with simulated food webs have found extinction cascades to be more likely with either many (Lundberg et al. 2000) or few species per trophic level (Borrvall et al. 2000) and either high (Pimm 1982) or low connectance between species (Dunne et al. 2002).”
Network structure and biodiversity loss in food webs: robustness increases with connectance (2002, background): “However, theoretical work related to the diversity–stability debate (e.g. MacArthur 1955; May 1973) has not resolved the role of various aspects of ecosystem complexity in stabilizing ecosystems (for recent review see McCann 2000).”
