Seven Shortfalls that Beset Large-Scale Knowledge of Biodiversity (2015, background): “Interaction diversity research and functional diversity research complement species-based diversity research and act as bridges to study ecosystem processes such as food-web organization or species loss (Valiente-Banuet et al. 2014).”
Overfishing disrupts an ancient mutualism between frugivorous fishes and plants in Neotropical wetlands (2015, background): “The disruption of pollination and seed dispersal mutualisms directly affects plant reproductive success and threatens biodiversity (Aslan et al., 2013; Dirzo et al., 2014; Valiente-Banuet et al., 2015).”
How climate change affects the seasonal ecology of insect parasitoids (2020, background): “Key questions relate to potential outcomes of shifts in the interactions of species on food-web functioning and ecosystem services such as biological pest control (Gilman et al., 2010; Chaianunporn & Hovestadt, 2015; Valiente-Banuet et al., 2015).”
Insect responses to global change offer signposts for biodiversity and conservation (2020, background): “As a result of their diverse functional roles, declines in insect abundance and diversity imply important consequences for global ecosystem functioning and services (Valiente-Banuet et al., 2015; Díaz et al., 2019).”
