Biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionalityAndy Hector
Institute of Environmental Sciences, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, CH 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
Nature 448:188-90. 2007..We conclude that because different species often influence different functions, studies focusing on individual processes in isolation will underestimate levels of biodiversity required to maintain multifunctional ecosystems...- General stabilizing effects of plant diversity on grassland productivity through population asynchrony and overyieldingA Hector
Institute of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, CH 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
Ecology 91:2213-20. 2010..In combination with previous work, our results suggest that stabilizing effects of diversity on community productivity through population asynchrony and overyielding appear to be general in grassland ecosystems... 
Analysis of variance with unbalanced data: an update for ecology & evolutionAndy Hector
Institute of Environmental Sciences, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, CH 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
J Anim Ecol 79:308-16. 2010..4. We summarize the main recent developments and emphasize the shift away from the search for the 'right'anova table in favour of presenting one or more models that best suit the objectives of the analysis...
Differences in light interception in grass monocultures predict short-term competitive outcomes under productive conditionsEva Vojtech
Institute of Environmental Sciences, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
PLoS ONE 2:e499. 2007..Our results are consistent with the idea that when light is a limiting resource, competition between species for this resource can be asymmetric, contributing to high dominance and low diversity...- Competition for light causes plant biodiversity loss after eutrophicationYann Hautier
Institute of Environmental Sciences, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, CH 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
Science 324:636-8. 2009..Our conclusions have implications for grassland management and conservation policy and underscore the need to control nutrient enrichment if plant diversity is to be preserved... - Seed size variability: from carob to caratsLindsay A Turnbull
Institute of Environmental Sciences, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, Zurich 8057, Switzerland
Biol Lett 2:397-400. 2006..Interestingly, the variability of pre-metrication carat weight standards is also around 5% suggesting that human rather than natural selection gave rise to the carob myth... - Conventional functional classification schemes underestimate the relationship with ecosystem functioningJustin P Wright
Ecol Lett 9:111-20. 2006..These results suggest that we need a more nuanced understanding of how the diversity of functional traits of species in an assemblage affects ecosystem functioning... - Impacts of plant diversity on biomass production increase through time because of species complementarityBradley J Cardinale
Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:18123-8. 2007..Our results suggest that experiments to date have, if anything, underestimated the impacts of species extinction on the productivity of ecosystems... - Overyielding and stable species coexistenceAndy Hector
Institute for Environmental Sciences, , CH-8057, , Switzerland
New Phytol 172:1-3. 2006 - Ecology. Darwin and the first ecological experimentAndy Hector
Natural Environment Research Council Centre for Population Biology, Imperial College, Silwood Park, Ascot, Berkshire SL5 7PY, UK
Science 295:639-40. 2002
