Comparative ecology of desert small mammals: a selective review of the past 30 years (2011, background): “Within only a few years energetic consumption by this species had compensated for 90% of the missing Dipodomys (Ernest and Brown 2001a), and its influence was complementary rather than redundant to that of Dipodomys (Thibault et al. 2010a).”
Selection, Tinkering, and Emergence in Complex Networks - Crossing the Land of Tinkering (2002, background): “In fact, evolution tends to reduce redundancy levels (i.e., species with identical traits) while increasing degeneracy by promoting species that are complementary and overlapping in their resource requirements but diﬁerent in their environmental toler-ances (Ulanowicz 1986; Morgan-Ernest & Brown 200”
Use of arboreal and terrestrial space by a small mammal community in a tropical rain forest in Borneo, Malaysia (2004, background): “…the effects of interacting small mammal species on ecosystem functioning and stability (see Jones & Lawton, 1995; Naeem & Li, 1997; Schwartz et al., 2000), considering their diversity as well as the population dynamics of interacting species (e.g. Brown et al., 2000; Ernest & Brown, 2001).”
