Functional Diversity — at the Crossroads between Ecosystem Functioning and Environmental Filters (2007, background): “Therefore, in those systems where these mechanisms indeed lead to enhanced ecosystem functioning , one should reasonably predict increased or decreased ecosystem 'performance' on the basis of an expanding or shrinking range of plant traits (Hooper 1998; Petchey 2003).”
Functional richness, functional evenness and functional divergence: the primary components of functional diversity (2005, background): “Then, given an even resource distribution across niche space, higher niche complementarity will allow more complete use of the resources available within a community, thus allowing higher productivity and invasion resistance (Dukes 2001, Petchey 2003).”
Interpreting the 'selection effect' of biodiversity on ecosystem function (2005, background): “Trait-independent complementarity is probably the form of complementarity that most ecologists think of when they think of ‘complementarity’, because this form of complementarity describes species with mutually non-overlapping niches ( Petchey 2003 ).”
Relationships between biodiversity and biological control in agroecosystems: Current status and future challenges (2014, background): “One approach to separate positive or negative species interactions from identity effects is to determine whether ecological performance of diverse communities exceeds each single species (Petchey 2003).”
EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: A CONSENSUS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE (2005, background): “Complementarity and facilitation are the two primary mechanisms leading to the phenomenon of overyielding, in which plant production in mixtures exceeds expectations based on monoculture yields (Trenbath 1974, Harper 1977, Ewel 1986, Vandermeer 1989, Loreau 1998b, but see also Petchey 2003).”
Identifying Causes of Patterns in Ecological Networks: Opportunities and Limitations (2017, unknown): “However, such experiments are difficult because directly manipulating network structure is conceptually tricky [see attempts by Finke & Snyder (2008) and Russo & Shea (2016)], and fixing a community may only be possible for a short term (Petchey 2003).”
The Causes and Consequences of Compensatory Dynamics in Ecological Communities (2009, unknown): “F or p er so na l u se o nl y. (Naeem 1998, Rosenfeld 2002, Walker 1995) and complementarity (Frost et al. 1995, Ives 1995, Loreau 2004, Petchey 2003).”
Functional diversity: a review of methodology and current knowledge in freshwater macroinvertebrate research (2016, background): “If two species have different roles, then these species complement each other and the concept describing their functional difference is known as functional complementarity (Petchey, 2003).”
On the statistical significance of functional diversity effects (2004, background): “Trenbath 1974; Harper 1977; Hector 1998; Loreau 1998b; Jolliffe 2000; Loreau & Hector 2001; Petchey 2003 ).”
Functional benefits of predator species diversity depend on prey identity (2005, background): “The short timescale was deliberately chosen to isolate complementarity of function due to the behaviour of the predators from the confounding effects of changes in predator and prey abundance, which would come into play with a longer-term experiment (see Petchey, 2003).”
Spatial heterogeneity increases the importance of species richness for an ecosystem process (2009, background): “Where biomass remains constant in short-term experiments such as the one presented here, the elevation of the focal ecosystem process above that expected from the monoculture performance of component species measures the net effect of species complementarity (Petchey 2003).”
Overyielding among plant functional groups in a long‐term experiment (2003, background): “Definitions of complementarity have varied, which has led to confusion about whether complementarity is a property of species, a mechanism leading to increased productivity in mixtures or the phenomenon of increased productivity itself (e.g. Petchey 2003).”
Functional diversity predicts overyielding effect of species combination on primary productivity (2009, background): “To isolate the effect of increasing species richness from a single species to two, we calculated the net diversity effect (non-transgressive overyielding: D T , Loreau 1998, Fridley 2001, Petchey 2003).”
Habitat variation, species diversity and ecological functioning in a marine system (2008, background): “Higher niche complementarity should allowmore complete use of the resource potentially increasing productivity and invasion resistance (Dukes, 2001; Petchey, 2003).”
