TLDR
The present work demonstrates the importance of scale in interpreting the results of caging experiments, but not at the small-scale level of cage size.About:

Scale effects and extrapolation in ecological experiments
Göran Englund,Scott D. Cooper +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the problem of extrapolation across scales should be avoided when possible, either by matching the physical size of experimental units with the size of the system of interest or by designing small-scale experimental systems so that the processes of interest are given a realistic representation.

Diversity, biomass and ecosystem processes in the marine benthos.
TL;DR: The results suggest that diversity/biomass/ecosystem function relationships in the soft sediment benthos are likely to be very complex and may depend more on functional groups than species richness.

How scale affects environmental impact assessment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the influence of geographical previous terms on the outcomes of previous Environmental Impact Assessments Next (EIAs) by using spatial data with different scales for an EIA for a proposed road bypass in Southeast England.

Synchronized reproductive success of the main bivalve species in the Wadden Sea: causes and consequences
TL;DR: Over vast areas (hundreds of km), bivalve recruit densities were generally (though not invariably) high after severe winters and low after mild winters, which resulted in a certain synchrony of recruitment success between the species (within areas) and between areas (within species).

Impact of introduced seastars Asterias amurensis on survivorship of juvenile commercial bivalves Fulvia tenuicostata
TL;DR: The results provide further support to the hypothesis that predation by A. amuren- sis is largely responsible for the recent decline and subsequent rarity of large bivalves in its current distribution in Tasmania.

Ecological Diversity and its Measurement
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define definitions of diversity and apply them to the problem of measuring species diversity, choosing an index and interpreting diversity measures, and applying them to structural and structural diversity.

Methods for the Study of Marine Benthos
TL;DR: This chapter discusses design and analysis in Benthic Surveys in Environmental Sampling, as well as characterising the Physical Properties of Seabed Habitats, and measuring the Flow of Energy and Matter in Marine benthic Animal Populations.
