Marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning: what’s known and what’s next? (2015, background): “Furthermore, while we know that indirect effects can just as strongly influence functioning as direct effects (Wootton 2002, Alsterberg et al. 2013, Eisenhauer et al. 2013), indirect and interactive effects of changes in diversity and other factors must be explored further.”
Indirect Interaction Webs: Herbivore-Induced Effects Through Trait Change in Plants (2005, background): “FUTURE DIRECTIONS The study of indirect effects is an increasingly rich subfield of community ecology (Wootton 2002).”
Spillover of functionally important organisms between managed and natural habitats (2012, background): “Direct and indirect interactions among trophic groups and across feeding guilds are now increasingly recognized as important in structuring ecological communities (Wootton, 2002; Kaplan and Denno, 2007).”
Documented and Potential Biological Impacts of Recreational Fishing: Insights for Management and Conservation (2006, background): “Due to the adaptive flexibility in prey behavior, morphology, physiology, and ecology in response to variable predation risks, a change in the abundance of predators has ecological consequences independent of the lethal effects on a prey species (Wootton, 2002; Dill et al., 2003; Werner and Peacor, ”
Biotic indirect effects: a neglected concept in invasion biology (2006, background): “Competitive interactions are often not acknowledged as indirect effects (Strauss, 1991; Wootton, 2002).”
Biotic interactions in freshwater benthic habitats (2010, background): “An ‘‘environment-mediated interaction modification’’ (Wootton 2002) includes reduction of predation risk on prey because of the presence of refugia, such as macrophytes (Kelly and Hawes 2005).”
A quantitative top-down view of interactions between stresses: theory and analysis of nitrogen–water co-limitation in Mediterranean agro-ecosystems (2005, background): “An important feature of multiple stresses is that their effects are frequently non-additive; largely unpredictable interactions are a fundamental cause of complexity in ecosystems (Wootton 2002).”
On the specification of structural equation models for ecological systems. (2010, background): “Latent variables and theoretical constructs Ecologists have a significant history of using path models (e.g., Wootton 2002), though not with the inclusion of latent variables.”
Multiple prey traits, multiple predators: keys to understanding complex community dynamics (2003, background): “However, trait-mediated indirect effects can result from any type of interaction (predatory or not) which alters the interaction between two or more other species ( Wootton, 1993, 2002 ).”
Indirect effects between shared prey: Predictions for (2004, background): “Different ecological processes operate at different time scales and in doing so may produce varying effects across different temporal scales (Wootton, 2002).”
Indirect effects of an introduced ungulate on pollination and plant reproduction (2004, background): “Most examples of indirect effects have been classified in two broad categories: interaction chain and interaction modification (Wootton 1994, 2002).”
