Journal ArticleDOI
What is the observed relationship between species richness and productivity
Gary G. Mittelbach,Christopher F. Steiner,Samuel M. Scheiner,Katherine L. Gross,Heather L. Reynolds,Robert B. Waide,Michael R. Willig,Stanley I. Dodson,Laura Gough +8 more
TL;DR: The relationship between species richness and productivity has been extensively studied in the literature as discussed by the authors, with a focus on positive, negative, or curvilinear relationships between productivity and species diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Relationship Between Productivity and Species Richness
Robert B. Waide,Michael R. Willig,Christopher F. Steiner,Gary G. Mittelbach,Laura Gough,Stanley I. Dodson,Glenn P. Juday,R. Parmenter +7 more
TL;DR: Reviews of the literature concerning deserts, boreal forests, tropical forests, lakes, and wetlands lead to the conclusion that extant data are insufficient to conclusively resolve the relationship between diversity and productivity, or that patterns are variable with mechanisms equally varied and complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species loss and the structure and functioning of multitrophic aquatic systems
Owen L. Petchey,Amy L. Downing,Gary G. Mittelbach,Lennart Persson,Christopher F. Steiner,Philip H. Warren,Guy Woodward +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that, at least for aquatic systems, models of single trophic level ecosystems are insufficient for understanding the functional consequences of extinctions.
Journal Article
What is the observed relationship between species richness and productivity? Commentary. Author's reply
Robert J. Whittaker,Einar Heegaard,Gary G. Mittelbach,Samuel M. Scheiner,Christopher F. Steiner +4 more
TL;DR: The relationship between species richness and productivity has been extensively studied in the literature as discussed by the authors, with a focus on positive, negative, or curvilinear relationships between productivity and species diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal stability of aquatic food webs: partitioning the effects of species diversity, species composition and enrichment
TL;DR: The results indicate that diversity can enhance stability in multitrophic systems, but effects vary with the scale of biological organization at which stability is measured.
