Effects of ocean acidification on macroalgal communities (2011, background): “We examine changes in seaweed species diversity and abundance along a pH gradient and also examine changes in morphological groups to help link changes in community structure to ecosystem functioning (Micheli and Halpern, 2005).”
Consequences of the introduction of exotic and translocated species and future extirpations on the functional diversity of freshwater fish assemblages (2013, methodology): “…FD of the assemblages with patterns of expected FD of random communities to investigate assembly patterns in the historical and current assemblages, and to determine the extent of ecological redundancy (Micheli & Halpern, 2005; Petchey et al., 2007; Sasaki et al., 2009; Brown & Milner, 2012).”
The impacts of climate change in coastal marine systems. (2006, background): “Sea level rise may also reduce the spatial extent of biogenic habitat by outpacing the accretion rates of marshes and coral reefs (Knowlton 2001; Scavia et al. 2002).”
Can stable isotope ratios provide for community-wide measures of trophic structure? (2007, methodology): “We discuss a general framework for applying the community-wide metrics, but this is only a foundation from which a variety of statistical approaches (e.g., incorporation of null models as in Cornwell et al. 2006) can be developed to provide for rigorous tests of ecological patterns and theory.”
Capturing the cornerstones of coral reef resilience: linking theory to practice (2008, background): “2005), enabling broad scale comparisons in space and time (Steneck and Dethier 1994; Bellwood et al. 2004; Micheli and Halpern 2005).”
Reconstructing hyperdiverse food webs: Gut content metabarcoding as a tool to disentangle trophic interactions on coral reefs (2019, background): “Marine systems are reported to harbour low levels of functional redundancy, so the utilization of broad trophic groups to indicate ecological functional traits may be insufficient (Brandl & Bellwood, 2014; Micheli & Halpern, 2005; Rasher, Hoey, & Hay, 2013).”
Population dynamics of an ecologically important range-extender: kelp beds versus sea urchin barrens (2009, background): “While many species are known to play dominant functional roles in particular coastal ecosystems (e.g. Andrew & Byrne 2001, Steneck et al. 2002, Micheli & Halpern 2005), the dynamics of such species and their ecological significance at higher latitudes is speculative.”
Hydrology shapes taxonomic and functional structure of desert stream invertebrate communities (2015, background): “The form of the relationship between taxonomic and functional diversity determines the degree of functional redundancy in communities (Micheli and Halpern 2005).”
Defining conservation priorities for freshwater fishes according to taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity (2011, background): “Micheli and Halpern (2005) hypothesized that the relationship between taxonomic and functional diversity could take different forms (e.g., low functional redundancy, high redundancy, asymptotic functional diversity).”
Functional diversity responses to changing species richness in reef fish communities (2008, background): “…low overall redundancy within functional groups and therefore greater potential consequences of human activities that remove or add species to a community (Micheli & Halpern 2005), while uneven distribution of species within functional groups can help illuminate mechanisms of community…”
Rare Species Support Vulnerable Functions in High-Diversity Ecosystems (2013, background): “This precautionary principle applies in highly diverse ecosystems, characterized by high functional redundancy among species [32,33], and even more so in lower diversity ecosystems where the potential for functional redundancy is limited [42,43].”
Rapid loss of glacial ice reveals stream community assembly processes (2012, methodology): “Keywords: assembly, deterministic, Glacier Bay, macroinvertebrate, niche filtering, river, stochastic, traits Received 9 January 2012 and accepted 11 February 2012”
Contrasted impacts of climate change on stream fish assemblages along an environmental gradient (2009, background): “This functional redundancy is based on the observation that some species perform similar roles in the assemblages and may therefore be replaceable with little impact on ecosystem functioning (Lawton & Brown, 1993; Rosenfeld, 2002; Micheli & Halpern, 2005).”
Focusing the Meaning(s) of Resilience: Resilience as a Descriptive Concept and a Boundary Object (2007, background): “…(a) critical functional groups and functional important species, such as top predators or keystone species (Folke et al. 2004, Bellwood et al. 2004, Micheli and Halpern 2005), (b) ecological redundancy and response diversity within functional groups (Walker 1995, Peterson et al. 1998, Elmqvist et…”
Contrasting changes in taxonomic vs. functional diversity of tropical fish communities after habitat degradation. (2010, background): “In turn, these modifications in the composition of these vegetated habitats may alter their quality for associated fish and invertebrates with, as a consequence, a loss of some ecosystem functions and a decrease of the secondary productivity (Micheli and Halpern 2005).”
The functional roles of marine sponges (2008, background): “functioning and extinction (see Steele, 1991; Petchey and Gaston, 2002a,b; Micheli and Halpern, 2005), there is considerable need to”
Cumulative impacts of seabed trawl disturbance on benthic biomass, production, and species richness in different habitats (2006, background): “If the species that go extinct occupy unique niches in the ecosystem, which may be common in marine systems (Micheli and Halpern 2005), resources can remain unused after species extinction, thereby reducing community production (Loreau et al. 2002).”
