The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Value of Biodiversity (2013, background): “Species are also related through ecological interactions – trophic relationships, competition, parasitism, facilitation and so on – that make them more or less complementary in executing ecological functions (Thebault and Loreau, 2006).”
Understanding the Effects of Marine Biodiversity on Communities and Ecosystems (2007, background): “Thus, in multitrophic systems, the edibility of prey species is expected to be an important mediator of diversity effects because it can foster shifts in species dominance that in turn affect ecosystem functional properties (Thébault & Loreau 2003, 2006).”
Species traits as drivers of food web structure (2018, background): “…the functional structure of animal communities comes in part from the presence of feeding loops, cannibalistic interactions, omnivory, intra-guild predation and ontogenic functional displacement preventing the distinction of trophic levels (Polis and Holt 1992, Thébault and Loreau 2006, Ings et al.”
