Biological insurance theory predicts that, in a variable environment, aggregate ecosystem
properties will vary less in more diverse communities because declines in the performance …

The accelerating rate of global change has focused attention on the cumulative impacts of
novel and extreme environmental changes (ie stressors), especially in marine ecosystems …

物种共存和生物多样性维持一直是生态学研究的中心论题. 基于物种生态位分化的群落构建理论
已经发展了近一个世纪, 但我们对群落构建和生物多样性维持的机理仍然不清楚. 近年来 …

There is mounting evidence that biodiversity increases the stability of ecosystem processes
in changing environments, but the mechanisms that underlie this effect are still controversial …

The stability of ecological communities is critical for the stable provisioning of ecosystem
services, such as food and forage production, carbon sequestration, and soil fertility. Greater …

The relationship between biological diversity and ecological stability has fascinated
ecologists for decades. Determining the generality of this relationship, and discovering the …

Despite much recent progress, our understanding of diversity–stability relationships across
different study systems remains incomplete. In particular, recent theory clarified that within …

Both theory and evidence suggest that diversity stabilises productivity in herbaceous plant
communities through a combination of overyielding, species asynchrony and favourable …

The major subdisciplines of ecology--population ecology, community ecology, ecosystem
ecology, and evolutionary ecology--have diverged increasingly in recent decades. What is …

Independent species fluctuations are commonly used as a null hypothesis to test the role of
competition and niche differences between species in community stability. This hypothesis …
