• Why biodiversity is important to the functioning of real‐world ecosystems (2009, background): “…ecosystems showed similar results; effects of changing herbivore diversity were comparable in magnitude to those of cascading predator effects (Duffy et al. 2005) and often greater than those of changing light availability or seasonal forcing (Spivak et al. 2007; Duffy et al. unpublished…”
• Human Involvement in Food Webs (2010, background): “Large animals, with larger food-web influences, have suffered greater losses to humans than smaller animals and plants, in a phenomenon known as trophic skew (108).”
• Marine biodiversity and ecosystem function relationships: The potential for practical monitoring applications (2015, unknown): “…above the grazers) and it was associated with a low grazer species range (three rather than six species in Duffy et al. (2003) and four species in Duffy et al. (2005)), indicating that grazer diversity effects on secondary production may only be apparent at wider ranges of grazer richness (Duffy…”
• GLOBAL MARINE BIODIVERSITY TRENDS (2006, background): “Recently, Duffy and collaborators (172) showed that, in a sea grass community, higher grazer diversity enhanced ecosystem function (secondary production, epiphyte grazing, and sea grass biomass) only with predators present.”
• Partitioning the effects of algal species identity and richness on benthic marine primary production (2006, methodology): “The sums of squares calculated in this comparison can then be subtracted from the original model SS, leaving the residual SS which is attributable to variance among the monocultures and is thus a test of the species identity effect (Bruno et al. 2005, Duffy et al. 2005).”
