Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity and biocontrol: emergent impacts of a multi-enemy assemblage on pest suppression and crop yield in an agroecosystem
TL;DR: Empirical evidence is presented that increasing the richness of a particular guild of natural enemies can reduce the density of a widespread group of herbivorous pests and, in turn, increase the yield of an economically important crop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant species loss decreases arthropod diversity and shifts trophic structure
Nick M. Haddad,Gregory M. Crutsinger,Kevin Gross,John Haarstad,Johannes M. H. Knops,David Tilman +5 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that, over the long term, the loss of plant species propagates through food webs, greatly decreasing arthropod species richness, shifting a predator-dominated trophic structure to being herbivore dominated, and likely impacting ecosystem functioning and services.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species richness and the temporal stability of biomass production: A new analysis of recent biodiversity experiments
Kevin Gross,Bradley J. Cardinale,Jeremy W. Fox,Andrew Gonzalez,Michel Loreau,H. Wayne Polley,Peter B. Reich,Peter B. Reich,Jasper van Ruijven +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that for both grasslands and algae, temporal correlations in species biomass are lower when species are grown together in polyculture than when grown alone in monoculture, suggesting that interspecific interactions tend to stabilize community biomass in diverse communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant diversity and the stability of foodwebs.
TL;DR: Results show that higher plant diversity provides more temporally consistent food and habitat resources to arthropod foodwebs, and actively managing for high plant diversity may have stronger than expected benefits for increasing animal diversity and controlling pest outbreaks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Separating the influence of resource 'availability' from resource 'imbalance' on productivity-diversity relationships.
TL;DR: It is shown how the predictions of this model can be fit to patterns of covariation relating the richness and biomass of lake phytoplankton to three biologically essential resources in a large number of Norwegian lakes.
