Moving in the Anthropocene: Global reductions in terrestrial mammalian movements (2018, background): “functioning as they act as mobile links (25) and mediate key processes such as seed dispersal,”
Landscape moderation of biodiversity patterns and processes ‐ eight hypotheses (2012, background): “Movements of species between landscape elements can allow them to carry out functions at different points in space and time (e.g. immigration following disturbance; Lundberg & Moberg, 2003), even though they may be less important in other places (Srivastava & Vellend, 2005).”
Pollination and other ecosystem services produced by mobile organisms: a conceptual framework for the effects of land-use change. (2007, neutral): “In contrast, abundant and diverse ﬂoral resources may facilitate visitation to the target plant when the target plant is relatively rare (Moeller 2004), or to the entire community, although data are lacking.”
Ecological roles and threats to aquatic refugia in arid landscapes: dryland river waterholes (2010, neutral): “These organisms include many of the aquatic insects with terrestrial adults, such as the Hemiptera and Coleoptera; they are the ‘movers’ or ‘mobile-link’ organisms ( sensu Lundberg and Moberg 2003) (Fig.”
Movements and foraging of predators associated with mesophotic coral reefs and their potential for linking ecological habitats (2015, background): “Animal movements between habitats may result in nutrient transport from high to low productivity areas, which can represent a significant contribution to ecosystem nutrient cycling (Lundberg & Moberg 2003, Schmitz et al. 2010).”
Ecological Thresholds: The Key to Successful Environmental Management or an Important Concept with No Practical Application? (2006, background): “Ecological resilience emerges from the interaction of the functional diversity, response diversity, and cross-scale diver- sity of an ecosystem (Peterson and others 1998; Lundberg and Moberg 2003; Elmqvist and others 2003).”
Effects of Multi-chain Omnivory on the Strength of Trophic Control in Lakes (2005, background): “The potential for multi-chain omnivores to couple discrete and often distant food chains, habitats, and ecosystems challenges ecologists to bridge spatial and disciplinary boundaries (Lundberg and Moberg 2003) when assessing the dynamics of top-down control in specific ecological systems.”
Philopatry and Regional Connectivity of the Great Hammerhead Shark, Sphyrna mokarran in the U.S. and Bahamas (2017, neutral): “…consumer (Cliﬀ, 1995; Mourier et al., 2013), and due to its known long-range movements is likely an important mobile link species between ecosystems (Lundberg and Moberg, 2003; Heupel et al., 2015) playing an important part in the functioning, structure, and stability of these systems (Ferretti et…”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Environmental Change Biocultural Refugia: Combating the Erosion of Diversity in Landscapes of Food Production (2013, background): “The traditional management cycle of a dynamic domesticated landscape was broken (Olwig 2008, for more examples see also Higgs 2003).”
The diversity and conservation of plant reproductive and dispersal functional traits in human‐dominated tropical landscapes (2006, neutral): “2003; Lundberg & Moberg 2003).”
Ecosystem Linkages Between Lakes and the Surrounding Terrestrial Landscape in Northeast Iceland (2008, background): “…high nutrient environments (Kohler and others 2005) and adult life stages that move over land to mate (Armitage 1995), are vectors of material, nutrients and energy that can energetically and trophically link aquatic to terrestrial ecosystems as ‘‘mobile links’’ (sensu Lundberg and Moberg 2003).”
