Background Recent investigations suggest that biodiversity loss might impair the functioning
and sustainability of ecosystems. Although deep-sea ecosystems are the most extensive on …

Marine ecosystems are experiencing rapid and pervasive changes in biodiversity and
species composition. Understanding the ecosystem consequences of these changes is …

Declines in biodiversity have prompted concern over the consequences of species loss for
the goods and services provided by natural ecosystems. However, relatively few studies …

Human-dominated marine ecosystems are experiencing accelerating loss of populations
and species, with largely unknown consequences. We analyzed local experiments, long …

Research on the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is entering a
new phase. The main driver behind this is an awareness that biodiversity loss operates at …

The deep sea is the most extensive habitat on our planet, and it supports surprisingly high
biodiversity. With a multitude of different environments and conditions previously thought to …

Human‐caused declines in biodiversity have stimulated intensive research on the
consequences of biodiversity loss for ecosystem services and policy initiatives to preserve …

The deep sea (> 200 m depth) encompasses> 95% of the world's ocean volume and
represents the largest and least explored biome on Earth (< 0.0001% of ocean surface), yet …

Unprecedented rates of species extinctions have prompted extensive research into the
consequences of biodiversity losses on ecosystem functioning. While aquatic species are …

Declining biodiversity and loss of ecosystem function threatens the ability of habitats to
contribute ecosystem services. However, the form of the relationship between biodiversity …
