Functional diversity: back to basics and looking forward. (2006, methodology): “This idea is supported by theoretical models and empirical evidence that evenness of abundances influences ecosystem level processes independently of species richness (Nijs & Roy 2000; Polley et al. 2003; Dangles & Malmqvist 2004).”
Global patterns of stream detritivore distribution: implications for biodiversity loss in changing climates (2012, background): “However, his meta-analysis was based on species presence–absence data, which are insufficient for investigating ecological processes in which relative abundance of species play a major role (Dangles & Malmqvist, 2004).”
Assessment of functional integrity of eutrophic streams using litter breakdown and benthic macroinvertebrates (2006, background): “These large shredders are well known for their disproportionate feeding activity when they are dominant among the shredder assemblage (Vought et al. 1998, Maltby et al. 2002, Dangles et al. 2004, Dangles & Malmqvist 2004 ).”
Consequences of dominance: a review of evenness effects on local and regional ecosystem processes. (2008, background): “Here, for a given species richness, the decomposition rate in streams was much higher when the shredder community was highly dominated by a single species (Dangles and Malmqvist 2004).”
Dominant species identity regulates invasibility of old‐field plant communities (2006, background): “While many studies have indicated that identities of species in a community can alter invasibility (Smith and Knapp 1999, Dukes 2002, Prieur-Richard et al. 2002), fewer studies have demonstrated that dominant species in particular can regulate invasion, despite the fact that dominant species are kno”
Biodiversity‐ecosystem function research: Insights gained from streams (2010, background): “Only three of the 45 studies addressed the effect of variations in community evenness (Dangles and Malmqvist, 2004; Boyero et al., 2007; McKie et al., 2008), and only two studies looked at non-taxonomic community attributes (functional diversity: Lecerf et al.”
Decline in a dominant invertebrate species contributes to altered carbon cycling in a low‐diversity soil ecosystem (2008, background): “For example, Dangles & Malmqvist (2004) reported that shifts in abundances can have effects on ecosystem functioning that are as great as those from shifts in species richness and suggest that biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships may be driven by dominant species in soil ecosystems, as…”
Does mixing litter of different qualities alter stream microbial diversity and functioning on individual litter species (2009, background): “…2004, Hättenschwiler et al. 2005, Kominoski et al. 2007), as well as consumer-level manipulations of invertebrates (Jonsson and Malmqvist 2000, Dangles and Malmqvist 2004, Hättenschwiler and Gasser 2005) and microorganisms (Bärlocher and Corkum 2003, Dang et al. 2005, Lecerf et al. 2005,…”
The Role of Biodiversity in the Functioning of Freshwater and Marine Benthic Ecosystems (2004, unknown): “…benthic studies have highlighted the importance of changes in species diversity in response to natural or anthropogenic perturbations leading to local, nonrandom species extinctions (Crowl et al. 2001, Huryn et al. 2002, Dangles and Chauvet 2003, Larned et al. 2003, Dangles and Malmqvist 2004).”
