Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning at local and regional spatial scales (2002, background): “The second model is based on regional processes and source–sink dynamics and suggests that, when immigration from a region is high, local diversity increases, but ecosystem functioning decreases (Loreau & Mouquet 1999; Mouquet et al. 2002 ).”
Invasibility and species richness of island endemic arthropods: a general model of endemic vs. exotic species (2006, background): “This happens because the productivity of the overall system increases with more species and this also simulates the first part of the hump-shaped curve of the productivity–diversity relationship (see Waide et al., 1999; Mouquet et al., 2002).”
Diversity effects on production in different light and fertility environments: an experiment with communities of annual plants (2003, background): “What is less clear is how this effect of richness operates (Tilman et al . 1997; Huston et al . 2000; Fridley 2001; Mouquet et al . 2002 ), whether richness effects are sensitive to environmental parameters (Hector et al . 1999; Cardinale et al . 2000; Reich et al . 2001; Fridley 2002), and whether”
Do species evenness and plant density influence the magnitude of selection and complementarity effects in annual plant species mixtures (2003, background): “Ecology Letters (2003) 6: 248–256 I N T R O D U C T I O N Research on the role of plant species diversity in ecosystem function has intensified recently with the realization that Earth’s biodiversity is declining (Loreau et al. 2001; Mouquet et al. 2002).”
Phylogenetic diversity, trait diversity and niches: species assembly of ferns along a tropical elevational gradient (2011, background): “Accordingly, if there is directional ecological sorting (sensu Ackerly, 2003), the direction itself may shed light on the mechanism of species assembly (Fridley, 2001; Mouquet et al., 2002).”
Mechanisms promoting plant coexistence: can all the proposed processes be reconciled? (2004, unknown): “First, the mechanisms through which plants coexist determine in which way species of given communities are complementary, which in turn influences the functional role of biodiversity in these communities (Mouquet et al. 2002).”
Community assembly time and the relationship between local and regional species richness (2003, methodology): “We have chosen a simple niche model adapted from the generalized competition model proposed by Pacala and Tilman (1994), see also Hurtt and Pacala 1995, Mouquet et al.”
Dominant species maintain ecosystem function with non‐random species loss (2003, background): “…resistance to invasion, and other processes critical to the functioning of ecosystems (Naeem et al. 1994, 2000; Tilman et al. 1996, 1997a,b, 2001; Symstad et al. 1998, Van der Heijden et al. 1998; Hector et al. 1999; Loreau 2000; Lyons and Schwartz 2001; Kennedy et al. 2002; Mouquet et al. 2002).”
Effects of species diversity on the primary productivity of ecosystems: extending our spatial and temporal scales of inference (2004, background): “It also supports the expectation that different mechanisms will operate simultaneously to influence the diversity-productivity relationship at varying scales of observation (Loreau et al. 2001, Chesson et al. 2002, Mouquet et al. 2002).”
A synthesis of subdisciplines: predator–prey interactions, and biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (2004, background): “…rampant evidence of a sampling effect but not resource partitioning, even when resource partitioning at larger scales is responsible for coexistence in the regional species pool, which is itself a prerequisite for a sampling effect to occur (Mouquet et al. 2002; Cardinale et al. 2004; Loreau 2004).”
Mechanisms responsible for the positive diversity–productivity relationship in Minnesota grasslands (2004, background): “…interested in these interactions, because the consequences of species extinctions for ecosystem metrics such as aboveground productivity may depend on the same species interactions that determine community dynamics (Naeem et al. 1994; Petchey 2000; Cardinale et al. 2002; Mouquet et al. 2002).”
THE INSURANCE VALUE OF BIODIVERSITY IN THE PROVISION OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES (2005, background): “8There is still disagreement over whether sampling effects are relevant to natural ecosystems, or whether they only occur in artificially assembled systems (Huston 1997, Loreau 2000, Mouquet et al. 2002, Schläpfer et al. 2005, Tilman et al. 1997b, Wardle 1999).”
Above-ground standing biomass and tree species diversity in natural stands of Central Europe (2007, result): “Lack of positive relationship between species diversity and biomass is not very surprising: similar results have been obtained recently by several authors working in various types of terrestrial ecosystems (Waide et al. 1999; Mouquet et al. 2002; Chen et al. 2003; DeClerck et al. 2005).”
Resource Heterogeneity Moderates the Biodiversity-Function Relationship in Real World Ecosystems (2008, background): “In addition, previous models have shown that the direction of the BDEF relationship can depend on whether local heterogeneity or regional species pool differences underlie diversity differences, with positive BDEF relationships only expected in the latter case [26].”
EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: A CONSENSUS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE (2005, background): “Chapin, F. S., III, S. M. Bret-Harte, S. E. Hobbie, and H. Zhong.”
Overyielding among plant functional groups in a long‐term experiment (2003, background): “…theoretical and empirical studies is that 2003 Blackwell Publishing Ltd/CNRS complementarity could be a primary mechanism leading to increased productivity with increasing diversity, although differences in species’ allocation are frequently ignored (e.g. Tilman et al. 1997; Mouquet et al. 2002).”
