Functional biodiversity in the agricultural landscape: relationships between weeds and arthropod fauna. (2010, background): “…fields of community and ecosystem genetics have defined a new concept, i.e. the minimum viable interacting population (MVIP), which represents the size of a population necessary to maintain the genetic diversity at levels required by dependent and interacting species (Whitham et al., 2003).”
Rhizome growth dynamics of native and exotic haplotypes ofPhragmites australis (Common reed) (2006, background): “In the case of Phragmites, these differences likely affected the associated food webs and might have community or ecosystem-level consequences (Seliskar et al. 2002; Whitham et al. 2003), especially since it is often a dominant species.”
Conserving plant genetic diversity for dependent animal communities (2004, methodology): “Plant gene diversity ( Weir 1996 ) for each stand was measured using average heterozygosity.”
Host plant genetics affect hidden ecological players: links among Populus, condensed tannins, and fungal endophyte infection (2005, neutral): “…plant traits can have pronounced direct and indirect effects that extend beyond the individual or population to affect the dependent community and ecosystem processes (Madritch and Hunter 2002), that is, have extended phenotypes (Whitham et al. 2003; Bailey et al. 2004; Schweitzer et al. 2004).”
Deadly combination of genes and drought: increased mortality of herbivore‐resistant trees in a foundation species (2009, background): “Given that moth resistance and susceptibility also had pronounced effects on the associated community (Whitham et al., 2003) and ecosystem processes (Chapman et al., 2003; Classen et al., 2005, 2007), changes in the distribution of moth resistant and sus- *Data from Mueller et al. (2005b).”
Biodiversity and the functioning of seagrass ecosystems (2006, background): “Because dominant species, such as seagrasses in many low-diversity temperate beds, have pervasive bottom-up influences on associated communities, genetic diversity within such species can influence the structure and functioning of entire ecosystems (Whitham et al. 2003, Reusch & Hughes 2006).”
Nonadditive effects of mixing cottonwood genotypes on litter decomposition and nutrient dynamics (2005, neutral): “The trees were identified as individual genotypes with restriction length polymorphism (RFLP) analyses, differed by three or fewer molecular markers (Martinsen et al. 2001), and have distinct genetic-based leaf chemistries (Whitham et al. 2003).”
BEAVERS AS MOLECULAR GENETICISTS: A GENETIC BASIS TO THE FORAGING OF AN ECOSYSTEM ENGINEER (2004, background): “Furthermore, beavers may affect a diverse community of arthropods and birds that are differentially associated with each cross type (Whitham et al. 1999, 2003).”
Endophyte-mediated resistance against white pine blister rust in Pinus monticola (2008, background): “It is possible that variations in the endophyte assemblages that F2 material was exposed to in Idaho and Canada could have impacted resistance thus contributing to the ‘‘environmental’’ influence, i.e. the extended phenotype (Whitham et al., 2003).”
HERITABILITY OF NECTAR TRAITS: WHY DO WE KNOW SO LITTLE? (2004, background): “…important ecological functions, and their attributes may affect community structure of both animals and plants (e.g., Feinsinger 1978, Brown and Kodric-Brown 1979, Blüthgen et al. 2000, Apple and Feener 2001, Neuhauser et al. 2003, Whitham et al. 2003; see other papers in this Special Feature).”
Designing forest biodiversity experiments: general considerations illustrated by a new large experiment in subtropical China (2014, background): “Genetic variation within-tree species can largely aﬀect variation in tree performance and tree response to diﬀerent environments (Whitham et al. 2003).”
