Anadromy and residency in steelhead and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss): a review of the processes and patterns (2015, unknown): “Understanding partial migration is important from a conservation and management perspective in the same way that understanding the portfolio effect is helpful in financial realms (Koellner and Schmitz 2006; Lehman and Tilman 2000; Schindler et al. 2010).”
Comparison of organic and conventional farms: challenging ecologists to make biodiversity functional (2008, background): “A third approach is to present growers with some level of performance risk assessment that would estimate ecosystem service returns for investments in biodiversity conservation (sensu Koellner and Schmitz 2006).”
The portfolio concept in ecology and evolution (2015, background): “…community properties led to the “insurance hypothesis”, which proposed that diverse ecosystems are more likely to be functionally stable if many species are present (Lachi and Loreau 1999) and that modern portfolio theory could be used to formal- ize this argument (Koellner and Schmitz 2006).”
