Resilience and food security: rethinking an ecological concept (2017, background): “The resilience concept has been developed in many disciplines, including ecology, engineering, agriculture and economics (Altieri et al. 2015; Martin & Sunley 2015; Oliver et al. 2015), with much cross-fertilization of ideas.”
Biodiversity redistribution under climate change: Impacts on ecosystems and human well-being (2017, positive): “Increasingly, evidence indicates that species diversity, which underlies functional diversity, has a positive effect on the mean level and stability of ecosystem functioning at local and regional scales (37).”
Getting the message right on nature‐based solutions to climate change (2021, positive): “However, diversity is essential for long-term sustainability, as func - tional resilience to stressors such as climate change, invasive species and new pathogens is strongly determined by ecosystem connec - tivity and biodiversity at multiple trophic levels (Oliver et al., 2015).”
Human perturbations reduce dung beetle diversity and dung removal ecosystem function (2021, background): “Nonetheless, functional redundancy in the assemblages may help maintaining ecosystem functionality despite species loss (Oliver et al., 2015).”
The three Rs of river ecosystem resilience: Resources, recruitment, and refugia (2019, background): “Prevalence of resilience mechanisms at the community level will depend on population density and resources (Oliver et al., 2015; Weaver, Paquet, & Ruggiero, 1996), connectivity and dispersal ability ranging from fine‐scale migration (e.”
Merging DNA metabarcoding and ecological network analysis to understand and build resilient terrestrial ecosystems (2016, background): “Within forests, it can provide better-resolved species-interaction networks and allows a novel way of determining robustness, the importance of tree species to network integrity and ultimately forest species composition to maximise resilience (Oliver et al. 2015).”
Species asynchrony and response diversity determine multifunctional stability of natural grasslands (2019, background): “…advances in measuring community diversity and composition based on functional traits can extend our predictions of the biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning and stability (Cadotte, Carscadden, & Mirotchnick, 2011; Mori et al., 2013; Oliver et al., 2015; Wright, Ames, & Mitchell, 2016).”
Towards a Comparable Quantification of Resilience. (2018, background): “While some of this debate has focused on semantics, it has also brought forth a much-needed exploration of our understanding of the mechanisms underlying resilience [8,11,15,16,21,22].”
Unifying the concepts of stability and resilience in ecology (2020, background): “In the case of press or ramp perturbations (Figure 3a,b), a system could be set on a trajectory of change and t0 might fall beyond the timeframe of the study (Margalef, 1969; Oliver et al., 2015).”
