• Tolerance of benthic macrofauna to hypoxia and anoxia in shallow coastal seas: a realistic scenario (2012, background): “This changes ecosystem structure and function (Gray et al. 2002, Solan et al. 2004, Levin et al. 2009, Middelburg & Levin 2009) and leads to destabilisation (Conley et al. 2009, Rabalais et al. 2010, Zhang et al. 2010).”
• Meiobenthos at the Arctic Håkon Mosby Mud Volcano, with a parental-caring nematode thriving in sulphide-rich sediments (2006, background): “Rapid changes in biodiversity are occurring globally and are calling for a better understanding of what controls the structure and functioning of communities inhabiting the seafloor (Solan et al. 2004), the largest habitat on earth.”
• Understanding the Effects of Marine Biodiversity on Communities and Ecosystems (2007, background): “The order in which species go extinct is not likely to be random, and the relative extinction risks of different species can alter the expected correlation between diversity and ecosystem functioning (Solan et al. 2004).”
• How biodiversity affects ecosystem functioning: roles of infaunal species richness, identity and density in the marine benthos (2006, methodology): “…species, but also on the relative contribution of dominant and minor species (i.e. species composition and identity effects; Emmerson et al. 2001, Solan et al. 2004), environmental context (Biles et al. 2003), density dependence (Marinelli & Williams 2003) and how species interact with one…”
• Why biodiversity is important to oceanography: potential roles of genetic, species, and trophic diversity in pelagic ecosystem processes (2006, background): “…significantly influenced biological oceanography, although it is beginning to influence benthic ecology (Stachowicz et al. 1999, 2002, Duarte 2000, Emmerson et al. 2001, Bolam et al. 2002, Emmerson & Huxham 2002, Duffy et al. 2003, 2005, Allison 2004, Solan et al. 2004, Waldbusser et al. 2004).”
