Marine biodiversity : its past development, present status, and future threats / Biodiversity in the context of ecosystem function / Ecosystem function and co-evolution of terminology in marine science and management / Ecological consequences of declining biodiversity : a biodiversity-ecosystem function (BEF) framework for marine systems / Lessons from the fossil record : the Ediacaran radiation, the Cambrian radiation, and the end-Permian mass extinction / The analysis of biodiversity-ecosystem function experiments : partitioning richness and density-dependent effects / The importance of body size, abundance, and food-web structure for ecosystem functioning / Effects of biodiversity-environment conditions on the interpretation of biodiversity-function relations / Extending the approaches of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning to the deep ocean / Incorporating extinction risk and realistic biodiversity futures : implementation of trait-based extinction scenarios / Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning : an ecosystem-level approach / Multitrophic biodiversity and the responses of marine ecosystems to global change / Reality check : issues of scale and abstraction in biodiversity research, and potential solutions / Why bother going outside : the role of observational studies in understanding biodiversity-ecosystem function relationships / Implementing an ecosystem approach : predicting and safeguarding marine biodiversity futures / Stephen Widdicombe and Paul J. Somerfield -- Anne E. Magurran -- David M. Paterson, Emma C. Defew, and Julia Jabour -- Shahid Naeem -- Stephen Q. Dornbos [and others] -- Lisandro Beneditti-Cecchi and Elena Maggi -- Mark C. Emmerson -- Jasmin A. Godbold -- Roberto Danovaro -- Martin Solan [and others] -- David Raffaelli and Alan M. Friedlander -- J. Emmett Duffy, John J. Stachowicz, and John F. Bruno -- Tasman P. Crowe, Matthew E.S. Bracken, and Nessa E. O'Connor -- Simon F. Thrush and Andrew M. Lohrer -- Alison R. Holt [and others].
This edited volume addresses the latest advances in biodiversity-function science using marine examples. It provides an in-depth evaluation of the science before offering a perspective on future research directions for some of the most pressing environmental issues facing society today and in the future.
