Abundance of common species, not species richness, drives delivery of a real-world ecosystem service. (2015, background): “These distributions are analogous to species-abundance distributions, but use the number of pollen grains deposited in place of the number of individuals (Balvanera et al. 2005).”
Extinction order and altered community structure rapidly disrupt ecosystem functioning. (2005, background): “…function (Schwartz et al. 2000), including temporal and spatial 2005 Blackwell Publishing Ltd/CNRS turnover (Herrera 1988; Kremen et al. 2002; Balvanera et al. 2005), increased efficiency of resource use (Tilman 1999), and the occurrence of specialized functional relationships between…”
Biodiversity, functional roles and ecosystem services of groundwater invertebrates (2008, background): “…under conventional agriculture without forest, there was a loss of 60% of the total species pool, declines in the abundance of functionally important species, and decreased evenness in functional structure, resulting in loss of 60–80% of the entire pollination function (Balvanera et al. 2005).”
A multi-criteria approach for an integrated land-cover-based assessment of ecosystem services provision to support landscape planning (2012, background): “…unit (forest tand/field), at the level of an economic entity (forest district/farm) r at a catchment scale to become linked to an ecosystem service Balvanera et al., 2005; Dale and Polasky, 2007; Lautenbach, 2010; elson et al., 2009; Pert et al., 2010; Posthumus et al., 2010; Sandhu t al., 2008).”
Community dynamics during early secondary succession in Mexican tropical rain forests (2006, background): “These concepts have been studied extensively in even-aged monocultures (Begon et al. 1990, Westoby 1984, White 1980, 1981; Yoda et al. 1963), and the debate concerns the validity of extending them to mixed-species, mixedaged forests (alien-thinning sensu White 1980).”
The Value of Animal Behavior in Evaluations of Restoration Success (2008, background): “Arthropods are important herbivores and pollinators (e.g., Coley & Barone 1996; Balvanera et al. 2005) and affect decomposition processes (e.g., Chapman et al. 2003).”
Managing ecosystem services: what do we need to know about their ecology? (2005, background): “We can assess the functional structure of a community, by ranking species by their functional importance (Balvanera et al. 2005).”
Quantifying the evidence for biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning and services. (2006, background): “There is an urgent need to extend experimental, observational and theoretical work on biodiversity effects for an array of ecosystem functions that can be linked to ecosystem services, such as water quantity and quality, pollination, regulation of pests and human diseases, carbon storage and climate”
The area requirements of an ecosystem service: crop pollination by native bee communities in California (2004, background): “Amounts of carbon for a given forest type will vary greatly, however, depending on plant community composition, age structure, soil fertility and other local environmental conditions (Caspersen et al. 2000; Oren et al. 2001; Balvanera et al. 2005 ); as actual rates of carbon storage and sequestrati”
Quantifying the Contribution of Organisms to the Provision of Ecosystem Services (2009, background): “, Balvanera et al. 2006, Díaz et al. 2006), but a focus on diversity per se should not be at the expense of understanding the contribution that individual species, populations and genotypes make to ecosystem services. This can yield valuable insights into the implications of species functional trait”
