Global effects of land use on biodiversity differ among functional groups (2020, background): “286 Given that different functional groups make a unique contribution to ecological 287 processes, the patterns that we see will likely have important effects on ecosystem 288 functioning (Brose et al., 2005; Brown et al., 2004; Estes et al., 2011; Larsen et al., 2005; 289 Soliveres et al., 2016).”
Biodiversity, functional roles and ecosystem services of groundwater invertebrates (2008, background): “…natural ecosystems, this research gap typically has been addressed by assessing responses to human modification leading to species extinction (e.g. Larsen et al. 2005), revealing that habitat loss often disrupts ecosystem functioning by affecting factors such as extinction order and species…”
Importance of pollinators in changing landscapes for world crops (2007, background): “In addition, to adequately judge the value of conserving and managing for wild pollinators, key pollinators in the main producing areas must be identified, their habitat requirements studied and the economic benefit of their presence estimated (e.g. Cane 1997b; Larsen et al. 2005).”
Is light pollution driving moth population declines? A review of causal mechanisms across the life cycle (2020, background): “This could lead to disproportionate impacts on ecosystem functioning if larger moths are particularly important, i.e. correlated effect and response traits (Larsen et al., 2005).”
Structural complexity mediates functional structure of reef fish assemblages among coral habitats (2017, background): “…among coral habitats, coral composition may mediate the distribution and abundance of fish traits, which is likely to influence the maintenance of populations, ecosystem processes to which they contribute , and therefore the resilience of that system (Larsen et al. 2005; Nash et al. 2015).”
Conservation and restoration of plant–animal mutualisms on oceanic islands (2010, background): “However, there are multiple records of declining insect pollinators worldwide (Allen-Wardell et al., 1998; Kearns et al., 1998; Larsen et al., 2005; Steffan-Dewenter et al., 2005; Biesmeijer et al., 2006), which, supported by available studies from islands, suggest that insect pollinator diversity…”
