Hollow beech trees identified as keystone structures for saproxylic beetles by analyses of functional and phylogenetic diversity (2014, background): “Values above zero indicate overdispersion; values below zero indicate clustering (Webb, 2000; Cavender-Bares et al., 2009; Vamosi et al., 2009; Pausas & Verdu, 2010; Mouillot et al., 2013; Winter, Devictor & Schweiger, 2013).”
Avian pest control in vineyards is driven by interactions between bird functional diversity and landscape heterogeneity (2017, background): “…functional entropy by characterizing species dispersion (distance weighted by abundance) from the functional space centroid, so that a high Rao’s Q value indicates a community composed of species functionally different from the mean trait composition (Ricotta & Moretti 2011; Mouillot et al. 2013).”
Dung beetles as indicators of tropical forest restoration success: Is it possible to recover species and functional diversity? (2014, background): “This generates clustering and irregular distribution of abundances of cooccurring species in functional space, decreasing values of functional evenness and dispersion (Gerisch et al., 2012; Mouillot et al., 2013).”
Species contribute differently to the taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic alpha and beta diversity of freshwater fish communities (2014, background): “the range of unique morphological, physiological or ecological traits in a community) can identify how communities are able to respond to human disturbances at both local and large scales, consequently impacting the ecosystem services those communities provide (D ıaz & Cabido, 2001; Petchey & Gaston”
Structural complexity mediates functional structure of reef fish assemblages among coral habitats (2017, background): “…also suggests that the performance of particular groups of specialist species may be restricted on low complexity reefs due to limited available refugia from predation or environmental conditions such as water flow or solar radiance (sensu performance filter hypothesis) (Mouillot et al. 2013b).”
Handbook of protocols for standardized measurement of terrestrial invertebrate functional traits (2017, positive): “Over the last decade, strong calls have been made to shift the research focus of community ecology from purely species-based approaches to trait-based ones (among others Lavorel & Garnier 2002; McGill et al. 2006; Diaz et al. 2007b; Suding et al. 2008; Webb et al. 2010; Chown 2012; Mouillot et al. 2”
Modelling climate change impacts on marine fish populations: process-based integration of ocean warming, acidification and other environmental drivers (2016, background): “…resilience under climate change could 816 be advanced by trait-based models with a focus on ecologically functional traits (Bremner, 817 2008, Mouillot et al., 2013) and by multi-species IBMs that use empirical results on food 818 uptake, energy allocation and predation behaviour to set…”
Functional trait metrics are sensitive to the completeness of the species' trait data? (2014, background): “Functional diversity has become an important concept as it has contributed to our understanding of community assembly; for example, analysing FD has been shown to be useful in assessing how communities respond to disturbance (Mouillot et al. 2013).”
An attribute‐diversity approach to functional diversity, functional beta diversity, and related (dis)similarity measures (2019, background): “…as a single number or just a few measures; an enormous number of measures have been proposed to quantify the complementary aspects of trait value distribution among species (Mouchet et al. 2010, Weiher 2011, Swenson et al. 2012, Mason et al. 2013, Mouillot et al. 2013, Scheiner et al. 2017).”
Traits Without Borders: Integrating Functional Diversity Across Scales. (2016, background): “Concluding Remarks Because FD encompasses a variety of concepts and components, a combination of conceptual and mathematical approaches has, to date, been necessary to quantify it comprehensively [1,19,72].”
Relationships between structural complexity, coral traits, and reef fish assemblages (2017, methodology): “At each site, we calculated a community-weighted 173 trait mean for each of the five traits by weighting the values of each trait by the 174 relative abundance of corals (Mouillot et al. 2013).”
How many dimensions are needed to accurately assess functional diversity? A pragmatic approach for assessing the quality of functional spaces (2015, methodology): “Either dendrograms or functional spaces have been used to estimate functional diversity across space and time (Petchey & Gaston, 2006; Mouillot et al., 2013; Violle et al., 2014).”
