Conservation biological control and enemy diversity on a landscape scale (2007, background): “Higher predator species richness may weaken (Rosenheim et al., 1993; Snyder and Wise, 2001; Finke and Denno, 2004), strengthen (Losey and Denno, 1998; Snyder and Ives, 2003; Schmidt et al.”
Ecological Effects of Invasive Arthropod Generalist Predators (2006, background): “Because invasive AGP tend to be particularly active in predator-predator interference (this review), replacement of native predators by invasive AGP might be expected to generally weaken herbivore suppression (e.g., Finke & Denno 2004).”
The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in food webs (2005, background): “2002; Duffy et al. 2003, 2005; The´ bault and Loreau 2003; Finke and Denno 2004 ).”
A synthesis of subdisciplines: predator–prey interactions, and biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (2004, background): “Recent PPI studies have reported the loss of prey suppression by predators because of intraguild predation, causing increasing predator diversity to increase the density of a focal prey species (Rosenheim et al. 1993; Brodeur & Rosenheim 2000; Snyder & Wise 2001; Finke & Denno 2004).”
Cascading effects of predator diversity and omnivory in a marine food web (2005, background): “Additionally, the replacement design provides the clearest test of predator diversity effects, unlike the additive design in which predator diversity and density are confounded as in most multiple predator effect experiments (Sih et al. 1998) and most recent attempts to test the predator diversity h”
Can we save large carnivores without losing large carnivore science (2017, background): “Predator diversity is known to dampen trophic cascade effects in model systems (Finke and Denno, 2004), and top-down forcing is also known to attenuate down through trophic levels more rapidly than previously thought (Schmitz et al., 2000; Brodie et al., 2014).”
Are the conservation of natural enemy biodiversity and biological control compatible goals (2008, background): “natural enemy species can reduce their ability to suppress pest populations (e.g., Rosenheim et al., 1993; Finke and Denno, 2004).”
A brown‐world cascade in the dung decomposer food web of an alpine meadow: effects of predator interactions and warming (2011, background): “…consistent with those of previous studies arguing that antagonistic interactions between predator species are more likely to happen when interspecific interference and/or intraguild predation are involved (Oksanen et al. 1981, Rosenheim et al. 1999, Finke and Denno 2004, Barton and Schmitz 2009).”
Bottom–up or top–down control in forest soil microcosms? Effects of soil fauna on fungal biomass and C/N mineralisation (2006, background): “Finke and Denno (2004) showed that enhanced predator density and diversity promoted intra-guild interactions among predators and weakened cascading effects on basal resources.”
The Influence of Intraguild Predation on the Suppression of a Shared Prey Population: An Empirical Reassessment (2006, background): “... view that emphasized functionally discrete trophic levels, as most forcefully enunciated by Hairston et al. (1960; see also Hairston and Hairston 1993, 1997), we have now moved to a new understanding of animal communities as often being replete with omnivory, defined as feeding at a variety of t”
A review of salt marsh dynamics (2011, background): “…in order to improve the management of salt marsh, there is a need for a better understanding of the role of salt marsh within the trophic cascade (Finke & Denno 2004) and how this is influenced by predation at a range of scales (Berg et al. 1997; Bos et al. 2003; Minkoff et al. 2006), or by…”
Efficacy and economics of shelter habitats for conservation biological control (2008, background): “…exist (e.g. foliar predators eliciting dropping responses in aphid prey which increases their vulnerability to ground-foraging predators (Losey and Denno, 1998)), processes such as intraguild predation (Rosenheim et al., 1995; Finke and Denno, 2004) can severely disrupt biological control.”
Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function Research: Is It Relevant to Conservation? (2005, background): “In several multitrophic BDEF experiments, indirect effects determined effects of diversity on function (Cardinale et al. 2003, Downing & Leibold 2002, Duffy et al. 2003, Finke & Denno 2004, Mikola & Setälä 1998).”
Sustainable pest regulation in agricultural landscapes: a review on landscape composition, biodiversity and natural pest control (2006, background): “Rodrı́guez & Hawkins (2000) and Finke & Denno (2004) showed that a simplified natural enemy community provides control of pest populations that is equal to or better than a complex of natural enemies.”
