Functional richness: Overview of indices and underlying concepts (2018, background): “The ITV can explain a significant part of the functional trait variability within communities and can have a strong impact on population stability, species coexistence and ecosystem processes (Bolnick et al. 2011, Kraft et al. 2014, Cochrane et al. 2015, Carmona et al. 2016a).”
A global meta-analysis of the relative extent of intraspecific trait variation in plant communities. (2015, unknown): “Accounting for ITV has also been shown to improve predictions of outcomes of species interactions (Kraft et al. 2014), community responses to spatial and temporal environmental gradients (Lepš et al. 2011; Kichenin et al. 2013; Jung et al. 2014), and ecosystem processes such as productivity and…”
The reciprocal relationship between competition and intraspecific trait variation (2016, background): “Such dynamics may be better characterized using directional trait differences rather than absolute trait distances (Kunstler et al. 2012; Fort, Cruz & Jouany 2014; Kraft et al. 2014).”
Spatial scale and intraspecific trait variability mediate assembly rules in alpine grasslands (2017, background): “Indeed, while other factors, such as competitive hierarchy and local environmental heterogeneity, could explain the observed patterns (Kraft et al. 2014), our study gives compelling evidence that large-scale abiotic filtering through GSL is the major driver of community assembly at large spatial…”
