Trade‐offs in community ecology: linking spatial scales and species coexistence (2004, background): “Interspecific trade-offs are typically thought to be a requirement for species coexistence in communities at small spatial scales (MacArthur 1972; Tilman 1982, 2000; Petraitis et al. 1989; Tilman & Pacala 1993; Chesson & Huntly 1997; Grover 1997).”
On the statistical significance of functional diversity effects (2004, background): “For example, trophic complexity (Raffaelli et al . 2002), temporal scale (Petchey et al . 2002), spatial scale (Wardle et al . 1997; Loreau 2000 ) and the presence of keystone species (Paine 2002), to name but a few (Hughes & Petchey 2001).”
Species richness of vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens in dry grasslands: The effects of environment, landscape structure and competition (2006, background): “Identifying the processes that determine species diversity remains a challenge in ecological research (GRACE 1999, TILMAN 2000, LOREAU et al. 2001).”
Effects of floristics, physiognomy and non‐native vegetation on riparian bird communities in a Mojave Desert watershed (2003, background): “If so, species richness may provide evolutionary ‘insurance’ in the event of long-term environmental change (Yachi & Loreau 1999; Tilman 2000; Loreau et al .”
A trait-based approach for downscaling complexity in plankton ecosystem models (2009, background): “The concept that organisms face trade-offs in their ability to allocate lim100 ited energy and resources to growth, reproduction and defence is central to 101 most theories explaining the diversity of life on Earth (Tilman, 2000).”
The Mediterranean Sea under siege: spatial overlap between marine biodiversity, cumulative threats and marine reserves (2012, background): “Biodiversity is also related to ecosystem services and available resources for humans, to which we give monetary, recreational or other values (Pearce & Moran, 1994; Bengtsson et al., 1997; Oksanen, 1997; Costanza et al., 1998; Tilman, 2000).”
Assembly rules and functional groups at global biogeographical scales (2002, background): “The impact of the global loss of biodiversity is increasingly attributed to the loss of functional rather than taxonomic groups (Chapin et al . 2000; Tilman 2000; Duffy et al . 2001).”
Effects of climate-induced coral bleaching on coral-reef fishes - ecological and economic consequences (2008, background): “…mean global atmospheric temperatures. impending species losses will not only alter biological diversity but potentially reduce productivity and ecosystem stability, increasing sensitivity to future disturbances and increasing the likelihood of ecosystem collapse (Tilman 2000, Myers & Knoll 2001).”
APPLYING COMMUNITY STRUCTURE ANALYSIS TO ECOSYSTEM FUNCTION: EXAMPLES FROM POLLINATION AND CARBON STORAGE (2005, background): “The relationship between ecosystem function and species diversity is highly debated (McCann 2000, Tilman 2000, Loreau et al. 2001, Naeem et al. 2002).”
Functional diversity (FD), species richness and community composition (2002, background): “Functional diversity, the extent of functional differences among the species in a community (Tilman 2001), is an important determinant of ecosystem processes (Loreau 1998; Chapin et al. 2000; Tilman 2000; Do´az & Cabido 2001; Loreau et al. 2001).”
A Test of the Biodiversity-Stability Theory: Meta-analysis of Tree Species Diversity Effects on Insect Pest Infestations, and Re-examination of Responsible Factors (2005, background): “These intricacies are highly relevant for the broader debate about the relative significance of species complementarity (Tilman 2000) and species composition (Hooper and Vitousek 1997) in ecosystem functioning.”
Natural enemy diversity and pest control: patterns of pest emergence with agricultural intensification. (2002, background): “This hypothesis states that if species occupy differentiated niches then as species diversity increases the proportion of total niche space occupied increases, and with it, ecosystem process rate (Tilman 2000).”
Effects of Economic Prosperity on Numbers of Threatened Species (2001, background): “…between biodiversity and various ecosystem services essential for human societies suggest that, even from a utilitarian point of view, continuing to drive vast numbers of species to extinction may be an unwise course of action (Costanza et al. 1997; Daily 1997; Chapin et al. 2000; Tilman 2000).”
Integrating methods that investigate how complementarity influences ecosystem functioning (2003, background): “Species richness can influence ecosystem functioning (EF) by a variety of mechanisms (Huston 1979, Aarssen 1997, Wardle 1999, Chapin et al. 2000, Loreau 2000, Tilman 2000, Fridley 2001).”
Species composition of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in two mountain meadows with differing management types and levels of plant biodiversity (2006, background): “Tilman (2000) points out that greater diversity may lead to greater ecosystem stability.”
SPECIES‐RICH PLANTINGS INCREASE BIOMASS AND NITROGEN ACCUMULATION IN A WETLAND RESTORATION EXPERIMENT (2003, result): “…many experiments supporting positive relationships between species richness and productivity, despite controversies over the interpretation of results (Schulze and Mooney 1993, Naeem et al. 1994, Huston 1997, Tilman et al. 1997, 2001, Schwartz et al. 2000, Tilman 2000, Engelhardt and Ritchie 2001).”
