Changes in productivity associated with four introduced species: ecosystem transformation of a pristine estuary (2006, background): “…function studies have been carried out by comparing species richness across sites or experimentally manipulating the number of species locally (Stachowicz et al. 2002, Duffy et al. 2003, Raffaelli et al. 2003), generally by random removal of species (but see Solan et al. 2004).”

Body size in ecological networks. (2005, background): “overfishing [42]; acidification [43]; species extinctions [44]; invasions of new species [45]), this could have potentially profound impacts on community stability and ecosystem functioning [ 11 ,40].”
Marine benthic ecological functioning over decreasing taxonomic richness (2015, background): “The strong relationship between reduction in species' trait values and function as well as the importance of specific traits for functioning has also been highlighted in simulations studies (Solan et al., 2004).”
Extensive gaps and biases in our knowledge of a well‐known fauna: implications for integrating biological traits into macroecology (2012, neutral): “One consequence of this is that even if a strong link were made between a particular combination of biological traits and a specific ecosystem function (Solan et al., 2004) our ability to predict the functional consequences of environmental change in any given spatio-temporal setting would be limite”
Quantifying the evidence for biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning and services. (2006, background): “Unfortunately, interesting new simulation and empirical studies which used non-random extinction scenarios (Raffaelli 2004; Solan et al 2004; Zavaleta & Hulvey 2004; Bunker et al. 2005; Schläpfer et al. 2005; Srivastava & Vellend 2005) could not be included in our analysis because they were…”
Approaches to defining a planetary boundary for biodiversity (2014, background): “As certain combinations of functional traits are lost in the face of environmental change, key functions could be at risk, especially if the traits of individual species co-vary with their risk of extinction (Solan et al., 2004), or could simply be performed less efficiently than in more diverse sys”
A boom–bust phylum? Ecological and evolutionary consequences of density variations in echinoderms (2009, background): “However, A. filiformis is an ecologically important species on soft-bottom habitats for its role in bioturbation (Solan et al. 2004).”
The functional role of biodiversity in ecosystems: incorporating trophic complexity. (2007, background): “…tests are impractical, as has been done for mammalian vectors of lyme disease (Ostfeld & LoGiudice 2003), bioturbation by marine invertebrates (Solan et al. 2004), carbon sequestration by tropical trees (Bunker et al. 2005), and nutrient cycling by freshwater fishes (McIntyre et al. 2007),…”
