Rare species support vulnerable functions in high-diversity ecosystems. by David Mouillot, David R Bellwood, Christopher Baraloto, Jerome Chave, Rene Galzin, Mireille Harmelin-Vivien, Michel Kulbicki, Sebastien Lavergne, Sandra Lavorel, Nicolas Mouquet, C E Timothy Paine, Julien Renaud, Wilfried Thuiller

“…Our results emphasize the importance of rare species conservation, even in highly diverse ecosystems, which are thought to exhibit high functional redundancy. Rare species offer more than aesthetic, cultural, or taxonomic diversity value; they disproportionately increase the potential breadth of functions provided by ecosystems across spatial scales. …”
