The frequency and magnitude of non‐additive responses to multiple nutrient enrichment (2011, background): “Synergies have garnered much attention in the ecological literature, often under the assumption that they occur frequently and with great magnitude (Myers 1995; Sala & Knowlton 2006; Halpern et al. 2008).”
The New Field of Sustainable Entrepreneurship: Studying Entrepreneurial Action Linking “What is to be Sustained” with “What is to be Developed” (2011, background): “For example, overexploitation of minerals through mining has made large portions of land uninhabitable (Swanson, 1996), and overfishing of oceans has led to decline of fish stocks and marine biodiversity (Sala & Knowlton, 2006).”
DNA barcoding reveals cryptic diversity in marine hydroids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) from coastal and deep‐sea environments (2007, background): “Out of c. 46 phyla of animals: 35 are found in the oceans, 14 of which are exclusively marine and several others are mainly marine (e.g. Cnidaria; Sala & Knowlton 2006).”
Tolerance of benthic macrofauna to hypoxia and anoxia in shallow coastal seas: a realistic scenario (2012, background): “…scientific publications increasingly focus on ecosystem dysfunction (Jackson et al. 2001, Worm et al. 2006, Jackson 2008) by documenting deterioration, identifying indicators and indices of habitat quality and suggesting management strategies (Link 2005, Salas et al. 2006, Butchart et al. 2010).”
Decline and local extinction of Fucales in French Riviera: the harbinger of future extinctions? (2014, positive): “…reef ecosystem with large pho-216 tophilous seaweeds (Molinier, 1960; Ballesteros I Sagarra, 1992; Sala et al., 2012); on this basis, we can claim that they are functionally extinct, i.e. the reduced population no longer plays a significant role in ecosystem functioning (Sala & Knowlton, 2006).”
Acoustic fish communities: sound diversity of rocky habitats reflects fish species diversity (2019, background): “…human livelihoods and well-being as well as water quality (Pauly et al. 2005), but it is facing substantial losses due to multiple cumulative human impacts on ecosystems, including overfishing, pollution and climate change (Sala & Knowlton 2006, Costello et al. 2010, Micheli et al. 2013).”
Guiding ecological principles for marine spatial planning (2010, background): “Measurements of biodiversity can range from local (alpha diversity) to global (gamma diversity) scales [46] and can span multiple levels of biological organization from species richness and composition, to genetic diversity, to diversity of functional groups.”
Pervasive human-driven decline of life on Earth points to the need for transformative change (2019, neutral): “In the ocean, animal populations and habitat extent have declined in the 20th century ( 31 ), with more than 20 described marine species having gone extinct ( 32 ).”
Reef-associated crustacean fauna: biodiversity estimates using semi-quantitative sampling and DNA barcoding (2009, background): “2% of the area of the ocean, they are the most diverse of all marine ecosystems on a per area basis, and perhaps absolutely as well, the deep sea being the other major repository of marine biodiversity (Sala and Knowlton 2006).”
Understanding the Effects of Marine Biodiversity on Communities and Ecosystems (2007, background): “…of marine species compared to land, many species are locally extinct and even more have been driven ecologically extinct: Their populations are sufficiently small that they can no longer play a significant ecological role in a particular community (Sala & Knowlton 2006, Steneck et al. 2004).”
