• Effects of grazing intensity on pollinator abundance and diversity, and on pollination services (2016, background): “Mackey & Currie (2000, 2001) questioned the validity of IDH because hump-shaped relationships do not seem to be the general response to stress, and when they occur, this response is weak.”
• Predicting spatial patterns of plant species richness: a comparison of direct macroecological and species stacking modelling approaches (2011, background): “…factors such as unit size, resources available (Pausas & Austin, 2001; Hawkins et al., 2003; Michalet et al., 2006; Whittaker et al., 2007), environmental heterogeneity (Palmer & Dixon, 1990; Dufour et al., 2006) and disturbance levels (Connell, 1978; Huston, 1979; Mackey & Currie, 2000, 2001).”
• Disturbance, productivity, and species diversity: empiricism vs. logic in ecological theory (2014, background): “Numerous meta-analyses and reviews of the effect of disturbance on species diversity have concluded that nonsignificant, linear increasing, and linear decreasing responses of diversity to disturbance are more frequent than the unimodal IDH pattern (e.g., Mackey and Currie 2000, 2001).”
• Impacts of semi-domesticated reindeer on structure of tundra and forest communities in Fennoscandia: a review (2000, background): “However, the generality and applicability of IDH has been questioned recently by modelling the relationship between disturbance and diversity or species richness in different situations (Wootton 1998, Mackey & Currie 2000).”
• Effects of disturbance on the diversity of hard-bottom macrobenthic communities on the coast of Chile (2005, background): “These include variations in the sampling intensity (Mackey & Currie 2000) and differences in productivity levels (Proulx & Mazumder 1998, Kondoh 2001).”
• Predicting plant species diversity in a longleaf pine landscape1 (2004, background): “Although species richness is often postulated as a peaked function of disturbance (Huston, 1994), the interpretation of our findings in view of such widely held ecological concepts is ambiguous for many reasons (Mackey & Currie, 2000; 2001).”
