Human disturbance reduces genetic diversity of an endangered tropical tree, Prunus africana (Rosaceae) (2008, background): “Moreover, fragmentation and local disturbance have been shown to modify ecological and genetic processes (Young et al. 1996; Chapin et al. 2000; Keller and Waller 2002; Luck et al. 2003 ).”
Isolation from forest reduces pollination, seed predation and insect scavenging in Swiss farmland (2009, background): “Thus, there is increasing concern that low biodiversity in intensively managed agricultural ecosystems may result in modifications or even disruptions of ecological services and functions (Matson et al. 1997; Luck et al. 2003; Tscharntke et al. 2005; Larsen et al. 2005; Kremen et al. 2007).”
Larger wildflower plantings increase natural enemy density, diversity, and biological control of sentinel prey, without increasing herbivore density (2012, background): “Hence, the natural ecosystem services these insects provide are also at risk of decline (Kremen et al., 2002; Luck et al., 2003).”
Ecosystem services provided by amphibians and reptiles in Neotropical ecosystems (2013, background): “vice, thereby increasing ecosystem resilience against disturbances (Luck et al. 2003).”
Spatial scale of observation affects α, β and γ diversity of cavity‐nesting bees and wasps across a tropical land‐use gradient (2006, background): “In terms of ecosystem services (sensu Costanza et al., 1997; Luck et al., 2003), communities of trap-nesting Hymenoptera are particularly salient as many species are important pollinators of both crops and wild plants (Klein et al., 2003).”
Functional Diversity — at the Crossroads between Ecosystem Functioning and Environmental Filters (2007, background): “…processes of functional extinction, that is, the extinction of local genotypes or phenotypes without immediate risk of global (Estes et al. 1989; Luck et al. 2003), Functional extinction often leads to ecosystems that retain the same richness and taxonomic composition of species, but cannot…”
Biodiversity, functional roles and ecosystem services of groundwater invertebrates (2008, background): “For example, the genetic level may be the appropriate level for maintaining disease resistance (e.g. Luck et al. 2003) whereas the functional group level may be best for characterising suites of microbes that cycle nutrients or break down organic matter.”
