Primes¶
- Substitutability
- In ecosystem services, biodiversity enables functional substitutability: if one pollinator species declines, others can compensate, preserving pollination function—a buffering effect that Loreau and colleagues (2001) document as the "insurance" benefit of species richness for ecosystem function under environmental change.
This sourceSynthesis paper establishing the "insurance hypothesis": species richness buffers ecosystem function under environmental change because functionally similar species are mutually substitutable, dampening loss of one through compensation by others.
