Nutrient loading associated with agriculture land use dampens the importance of consumer‐mediated niche constructionNARA Subscribed
The linkages between biological communities and ecosystem function remain poorly understood along gradients of human‐induced stressors. We examined how resource provisioning (nutrient recycling), mediated by native freshwater mussels, influences the structure and function of benthic communities by combining observational data and a field experiment. We compared the following: (1) elemental and community composition (algal pigm...
Species richness and temperature influence mussel biomass: a partitioning approach applied to natural communitiesNARA Subscribed
To increase the generality of biodiversity–ecosystem function theory, studies must be expanded to include real communities in a variety of systems. We modified J. W. Fox's approach to partition the influence of species richness on standing crop biomass (net biodiversity effect) of 21 freshwater mussel communities into trait‐independent complementarity, trait‐dependent complementarity (species with particular traits dominate wi...
