Species richness–variability relationships in multi‐trophic aquatic microcosms

While species loss may affect the temporal variability of populations and communities differently in multi‐ versus single‐trophic level communities, the nature of these differences are poorly understood. Here, we report on an experiment where we manipulated species richness of multi‐trophic rock pool invertebrate communities to determine the effects of species richness, S, on the temporal variability of communities, populations, and individual …
