Pseudo-biodiversity effects across scales
Pradeep Pillai
Over the last decade several attempts have been made to extend biodiversity studies in ways that would allow researchers to explore how biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relations…
Time-structured models of population growth in fluctuating environments
Pradeep Pillai, Tarik C. Gouhier
1. Although environmental variability is expected to play a more prominent role under climate change, current demographic models that ignore the differential environmental historie…
Not even wrong: Reply to Loreau and Hector
Pradeep Pillai, Tarik C. Gouhier
The Loreau and Hector (2019) Comment on our paper (Pillai and Gouhier, 2019) failed to address the two core elements of our critique, both the circularity of the BEF research progr…
Not even wrong: Reply to Wagg et al

We demonstrate that the issues described in the Wagg et al. (2019) Comment on our paper (Pillai and Gouhier, 2019) are all due to misunderstandings about the implications of pairwi…
Trivial pursuits
Tarik C. Gouhier, Pradeep Pillai
We demonstrate that the conclusions drawn by Bernhard et al. (2018) regarding the ability of nonlinear averaging to accurately predict organismal performance under fluctuating temp…
No evidence of fish biodiversity effects on coral reef ecosystem functioning across scales
Tarik C. Gouhier, Pradeep Pillai
We demonstrate that the conclusions drawn by Lefcheck et al. (2019) regarding the positive effects of fish diversity on coral reef ecosystem functioning across scales are flawed be…
On the use and abuse of Price equation concepts in ecology
Pradeep Pillai, Tarik C. Gouhier
In biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) research, the Loreau-Hector (LH) statistical scheme is widely-used to partition the effect of biodiversity on ecosystem properties i…
Not even wrong: The spurious link between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning
Pradeep Pillai, Tarik C. Gouhier
Resolving the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has been one of the central goals of modern ecology. Early debates about the relationship were finally res…
