Habitat variation, species diversity and ecological functioning in a marine system (2008, background): “Our findings also suggest that habitat heterogeneity will contribute in a non-random way to the implications of species loss for ecosystem functioning, especially in soft-sediments where much of the habitat structure is biogenic (Gray, 2002; Thrush and Dayton, 2002).”
Strength, slope and variability of marine latitudinal gradients (2004, background): “…organisms were investigated and significant latitudinal gradients were found (Rex et al. 1993, 2000, Roy et al. 1998, 2000b, Gray 2002 [for the northern hemisphere], Macpherson 2002) or not found (Wilson 1998, Barnes & Arnold 2001, Ellingsen & Gray 2002, Gray 2002 [for the southern hemisphere]).”
Efficiency of the coastal filter: Nitrogen and phosphorus removal in the Baltic Sea (2017, background): “Heterogeneous distribution of vegetation, macrofauna and even microbes further adds to the variability (Scala and Kerkhof 2000; Gray 2002; Healey and Hovel 2004).”
Molecular data reveal a highly diverse species flock within the munnopsoid deep-sea isopod Betamorpha fusiformis (Barnard, 1920) (Crustacea: Isopoda: Asellota) in the Southern Ocean (2007, background): “During the 1960s and 1970s it became apparent that species diversity was much greater than originally expected (Sanders et al., 1965; Hessler and Sanders, 1967; Rex, 1981; Rex et al., 1993; Gray, 2002).”
Species diversity in the soft-bottom intertidal zone: Biogenic structure, sediment, and macrofauna across mussel bed spatial scales (2008, background): “Negative interactions may occur when mussel biodeposition reaches high levels and alters the environment in ways that are similar to anthropogenic organic enrichment (Pearson and Rosenberg, 1978; Gray, 2002; Gray et al., 2002; Hyland et al., 2005), particularly by increasing the proportion of silt-c”
Identifying the consequences of ocean sprawl for sedimentary habitats (2017, background): “Understanding the impacts of ocean sprawl on the structure and important functions of sedimentary ecosystems is necessary for the development ofmanagement strategies aimed at conserving biodiversity and ecosystem services (Gray, 2002; Snelgrove, 1999).”
Deep, diverse and definitely different: unique attributes of the world's largest ecosystem (2010, background): “Indeed, for many taxa, a parabolic pattern in species diversity in relation to water depth has been observed (Rex, 1981; Pineda and Caswell, 1998; Gray, 2001, 2002; Levin et al., 2001).”
Paleoecology of the Greater Phyllopod Bed community, Burgess Shale (2008, background): “This is also typical of modern benthic communities in which all species are rarely recovered in a series of samples obtained with grabs or corers (Gray, 2002).”
