Species richness changes across two trophic levels simultaneously affect prey and consumer biomass (2005, background): “…al. 2002; Loreau et al. 2002 for overviews), it is not until recently that the multitrophic effects of diversity change have been analysed (Duffy 2002; Raffaelli et al. 2002; Duffy et al. 2003; Thébault & Loreau 2003; Fox 2004; Hillebrand & Cardinale 2004; Petchey et al. 2004; Ives et al. 2005).”
The central role of grazing in seagrass ecology (2007, background): “Effects of mesograzer identity and species diversity on seagrass ecosystem properties after 6 weeks in a mesocosm experiment (Duffy et al. 2003).”
Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function Research: Is It Relevant to Conservation? (2005, background): “In several multitrophic BDEF experiments, indirect effects determined effects of diversity on function (Cardinale et al. 2003, Downing & Leibold 2002, Duffy et al. 2003, Finke & Denno 2004, Mikola & Setälä 1998).”
Plant-herbivore interactions in seagrass meadows (2006, background): “density and composition, due to the diversity of feeding methods employed by mesograzers along with their predilections for feeding on different epiphyte species (Jernakoff et al., 1996; Gacia et al., 1999; Hillebrand et al., 2000; Duffy and Harvilicz, 2001; Duffy et al., 2003).”
Understanding the Effects of Marine Biodiversity on Communities and Ecosystems (2007, background): “…able to show that grazer richness affected community succession, not only reducing total resource (algal) biomass but also shifting the composition of the assemblage toward unpalatable cyanobacteria and sessile invertebrates and reducing prey diversity (Duffy et al. 2003, France & Duffy 2006a).”
Eutrophication in shallow coastal bays and lagoons: the role of plants in the coastal filter (2007, background): “Preferential feeding by herbivores can influence algal abundance and species composition (e.g. Duffy & Harvilicz 2001, Duffy et al. 2003, Cebrián 2004); however, we know relatively little about the implications of this for the storage and trophic transfer of nutrients as systems become eutrophied…”
Consumer effects decline with prey diversity (2004, background): “Theory suggests that groups of consumers characterized by higher diversity will have increased efficiency of resource use (Holt & Loreau 2001; Duffy 2002), and this prediction has received limited experimental support (Norberg 2000; Duffy et al. 2003).”
Biodiversity loss, trophic skew and ecosystem functioning (2003, background): “For such diverse, invertebratedominated food webs, manipulations of consumer diversity using the combinatorial approach common in plant diversity experiments would be informative (see, e.g. Duffy et al. 2003).”
Changes in productivity associated with four introduced species: ecosystem transformation of a pristine estuary (2006, background): “…(Pawlak & Olson 1995), and pesticides (2000 kg of carbaryl annually around 1990; WDF/WDOE 1992) are sprayed to kill native burrowing shrimp Neotrypaea californiensis (Dana, 1854), a ‘pest’ species that displaces eelgrass and smothers oysters (Feldman et al. 2000, Dumbauld & Wyllie-Echeverria 2003).”
Macrophytes as habitat for fauna (2009, neutral): “…may include food supply and predator refuge for grazers, feeding habits of the grazer and predation pressure, and persistence and resilience are expected to be dependent on diversity within the important functional groups (high functional redundancy, Duffy et al. 2001, 2003, Steneck et al. 2002).”
