Consequences of the introduction of exotic and translocated species and future extirpations on the functional diversity of freshwater fish assemblages (2013, background): “Predicting the effects of the future extirpation of endangered species on processes within ecosystems is essential to identifying the conservation priorities of local communities (Gross & Cardinale, 2005; Sundstrom et al., 2012).”
Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function Research: Is It Relevant to Conservation? (2005, background): “The potential of the community to compensate is affected by the traits of the remaining species that are, of course, also biased in biased-loss scenarios (Gross & Cardinale 2005, Solan et al. 2004).”
The functional role of biodiversity in ecosystems: incorporating trophic complexity. (2007, background): “Results of extinction simulations echo theoretical predictions (Gross & Cardinale 2005) that two issues are critical for predicting the consequences of non-random extinction: (1) the covariance between traits affecting extinction and those affecting ecosystem processes; and (2) the potential for…”
