• EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: A CONSENSUS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE (2005, background): “Even in diverse communities, however, compensation may not occur among all species in a given trophic level, suggesting that further refinement of functional effect groups beyond trophic position is necessary (Hulot et al. 2000, Duffy et al. 2001, Ruesink and Srivastava 2001).”
• Function and “functioning” in ecology: what does it mean? (2005, background): “…(in terms of ecosystem processes, which are implied here), although it mostly also alludes to some overall function (performance) of the whole ecosystem (Ruesink and Srivastava 2001, Naeem and Wright 2003, Giller et al. 2004, Hooper et al. 2005) or to those processes which are thought to be the…”
• Invasion by the amphipod Gammarus pulex alters community composition of native freshwater macroinvertebrates (2006, background): “Biodiversity decline has prompted investigations into species functional roles and the consequences for both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem functioning (Ruesink & Srivastava, 2001; Bradford et al., 2002; Giller et al., 2004).”
• Salinity shapes zooplankton communities and functional diversity and has complex effects on size structure in lakes (2018, background): “…of a community) can be considered highly sensitive to biological and environmental changes, even more than the ecological role (function) of species, since sensitive species may be replaced by tolerant ones with similar functions (Schindler, 1990; Ruesink & Srivastava, 2001; Mano & Tanaka, 2016).”
• A synthesis of subdisciplines: predator–prey interactions, and biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (2004, background): “One exception is the study by Ruesink & Srivastava (2001), who investigated non-additive effects of detritivores in the decomposition of leaf litter.”
• Extinction order and altered community structure rapidly disrupt ecosystem functioning. (2005, background): “…(Power et al. 1996); spatial and temporal variability of community structure (Symstad et al. 2003); the immediate response of the community following species loss (Ruesink & Srivastava 2001); and the longer-term feedbacks resulting from altered community structure and function (Chapin et al. 2000).”
• BIODIVERSITY LOSS AND ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN NUMBER AND IDENTITY OF SPECIES (2005, background): “There have been few experimental tests, however, examining the potential for other species to fulfill the functional role of a removed species (Lawton and Brown 1994, Ruesink and Srivastava 2001, Bolam et al. 2002, Allison 2004).”
• Changes in productivity associated with four introduced species: ecosystem transformation of a pristine estuary (2006, background): “Resource use efficiency would be expected in a group of species that has had the opportunity to adapt, specialize, and partition resources (Ruesink & Srivastava 2001).”
• The Causes and Consequences of Compensatory Dynamics in Ecological Communities (2009, background): “Functional compensation may not involve an obvious change in density, but may be related to compensation at the individual level due to changes in physiology or behavior (Ruesink & Srivastava 2001).”
• Integrating methods that investigate how complementarity influences ecosystem functioning (2003, background): “Design 2 could include experiments that control other initial conditions, such as total metabolic rate (Ruesink and Srivastava 2001).”
• Lizards as pollinators and seed dispersers: an island phenomenon (2003, background): “However, based on current results, island insects do not show DC [30,36], either in nature or in experiments [ 37 ], but more data are needed.”
