• The Causes and Consequences of Compensatory Dynamics in Ecological Communities (2009, background): “Petchey et al. (2002) found that increasing diversity destabilized total community biomass, and although environmental variability tended to decrease summed species covariances, overall the coefficient of variation (CV) of community biomass increased because of the destabilizing effects of…”
• Understanding the Effects of Marine Biodiversity on Communities and Ecosystems (2007, background): “Similarly, experiments in laboratory microcosms show that changing biodiversity in multilevel food webs can also have pervasive ecosystem impacts (Naeem & Li 1997, Naeem et al. 1994, Petchey et al. 2002).”
• Experimental design and the outcome and interpretation of diversity-stability relations (2011, background): “…role of various environmental and biotic factors such as nutrient enrichment (Romanuk et al. 2006, Zhang and Zhang 2006), temperature variability (Petchey et al. 2002, Gonzalez and Descamps-Julien 2004), and the presence of predators (Jiang et al. 2009), to explore conditions that might…”
• Ecological Networks in a Changing Climate (2010, background): “…of food webs that have been described in this way (e.g. Jonsson et al., 2005; Layer et al., 2010b; McLaughlin et al., 2010; Mulder and Elser, 2009; O’Gorman and Emmerson, 2010; Petchey et al., 2002; Woodward et al., 2005a), but more data are still needed before we can make robust generalizations.”
• ASSEMBLY HISTORY INTERACTS WITH ECOSYSTEM SIZE TO INFLUENCE SPECIES DIVERSITY (2004, methodology): “Following McGrady-Steed and Morin (2000) and Petchey et al. (2002), I calculated species biomass by multiplying the abundance of a species by the average cell mass of 10 individuals of that species (Table 2).”
• Quantifying the evidence for biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning and services. (2006, background): “It is clear that experiments need to be extended beyond the single trophic level approach to better understand such variations in biodiversity effects across an ecosystem (Petchey et al. 2002; Raffaelli et al. 2002).”
