Criticisms of these highly controlled and small scale studies have questioned their relevance to naturally assembled ecosystems and larger spatial scale at which policy, management and service provisioning takes place. In response, an increasing number of studies investigating biodiversity-stability relationships in non-manipulated communities have emerged, but syntheses are missing. Concurrently, theoretical developments have clarified the mechanisms by which biodiversity can stabilize functioning at different spatial scales. I will present results of a review of the literature assessing the balance of evidence regarding the direction of biodiversity-stability relationships and underlying mechanisms in (semi-)naturally assembled communities at the local and larger spatial scales. I will discuss the contribution of dominant and rare species to functional stability and identify knowledge gaps and opportunities for future research.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHost: \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/biosciences.gatech.edu\/people\/lin-jiang\u0022\u003ELin Jiang, Ph.D.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Biological Sciences Seminar by Yann Hautier, Ph.D."}],"uid":"27964","created_gmt":"2021-02-08 04:15:54","changed_gmt":"2021-04-08 22:20:12","author":"Jasmine Martin","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2021-02-18T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2021-02-19T11:59:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2021-02-19T11:59:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2021-02-18 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2021-02-19 16:59:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2021-02-19 16:59:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"643948":{"id":"643948","type":"image","title":"Yann Hautier, Ph.D.","body":null,"created":"1612757416","gmt_created":"2021-02-08 04:10:16","changed":"1612757416","gmt_changed":"2021-02-08 04:10:16","alt":"","file":{"fid":"244489","name":"Yann Hautier.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Yann%20Hautier.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Yann%20Hautier.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":185341,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Yann%20Hautier.jpg?itok=R8vImFDa"}}},"media_ids":["643948"],"groups":[{"id":"1275","name":"School of Biological Sciences"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"186951","name":"Yann Hautier"},{"id":"20751","name":"Lin Jiang"},{"id":"166892","name":"School of Biological Sciences Seminar"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
