Reinventing mutualism between humans and wild fauna: insights from vultures as ecosystem services providers (2013, background): “The ecological importance of vultures as agents of carrion and waste disposal is well recognized, but rarely has it been quantified (Wenny et al. 2011, but see Markandya et al. 2008; Margalida et al. 2012b).”
Bird dietary guild richness across latitudes, environments and biogeographic regions (2012, background): “This reflects the average ecological role of birds in their environments and their broad contributions to the functioning of ecosystems (Sekercioglu et al., 2004; Sekercioglu, 2006; Wenny et al., 2011).”
Avian pest control in vineyards is driven by interactions between bird functional diversity and landscape heterogeneity (2017, background): “The future of bird-induced services in agroecosystems is clearly a major conservation challenge under current global change (Wenny et al. 2011; Sekercioglu 2012).”
Ecosystem services by birds and bees to coffee in a changing climate: A review of coffee berry borer control and pollination (2019, background): “ES provided by birds are mostly supporting and regulating services which are the most difficult to quantify (Wenny et al., 2011).”
Bird functional diversity and ecosystem services in tropical forests, agroforests and agricultural areas (2012, neutral): “Not only is this important for a better understanding of the ecology of tropical bird communities and for improving tropical bird conservation but it is also essential for estimating the changes in birds’ ecosystem services (Wenny et al. 2011) and for calculating the economical contributions of thes”
The effects of climate change on tropical birds (2012, background): “ecosystem engineers (Sßekercioğlu, 2006a; Wenny et al., 2011).”
From regional to global patterns in vertebrate scavenger communities subsidized by big game hunting (2015, background): “Scavenging supports key ecosystem services (e.g. accelerating nutrient recycling, limiting disease spreading; DeVault et al., 2003; Wenny et al., 2011; Mole on et al., 2014a).”
Roles of Raptors in a Changing World: From Flagships to Providers of Key Ecosystem Services (2016, background): “Nutrient cycling benefits plants that then produce oxygen, food, medicine or erosion control (MEA, 2003; Wenny et al., 2011).”
