Ecological assembly rules in plant communities—approaches, patterns and prospects (2012, methodology): “In particular, the terms ‘overdispersion’ and ‘underdispersion’ have been used to describe spatial, statistical and ecological (i.e. species traits) dispersion patterns (see also Holdaway & Sparrow, 2007; Pausas & Verdu, 2010).”
Contrasting changes in taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity during a long‐term succession: insights into assembly processes (2013, unknown): “Based on the assumption that a particular assembly process will generate a specific spatial pattern of biodiversity (Diamond 1975; Pausas & Verdu 2010), this comparative approach uses betweenspecies differences (phylogenetic or functional) to partition diversity into within- (alpha) and between-…”
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).”
Biodiversity response to forest structure and management: Comparing species richness, conservation relevant species and functional diversity as metrics in forest conservation (2019, background): “potentially gives a better understanding of the mechanisms driving habitat changes and species assemblages (Pausas and Verdú, 2010),”
Using functional traits and phylogenetic trees to examine the assembly of tropical tree communities (2012, methodology): “…Lavergne et al. 2010; Swenson 2011), in addition to statistical methods and software for the integration of phylogenetic trees into eco- logical analyses (Webb & Donoghue 2005; Hardy & Senterre 2007;Helmus et al. 2007;Webb, Ackerly&Kembel 2008; Pau- sas & Verdú 2010; Eastman, Paine & Hardy 2011).”
Dos and don'ts when inferring assembly rules from diversity patterns (2020, background): “Although classification schemes for available diversity metrics can be of help in the choice of an appropriate index (Pausas & Verdu, 2010; Pavoine, Vela, Gachet, de Bélair, & Bonsall, 2011; Tucker et al., 2017), it is not always evident which index is the most appropriate for a specific research…”
Moving beyond the guild concept: developing a practical functional trait framework for terrestrial beetles (2015, methodology): “A significant amount of trait variation is constrained by evolutionary relationships (Felsenstein, 1985; Poff et al., 2006; Pausas & Verdú, 2010; Barton et al., 2011).”
Plant Facilitation and Phylogenetics (2013, background): “…or habitat filtering were the main mechanisms structuring the communities, but such dichotomy has now been superseded (Mayfield & Levine 2010, Pausas & Verdú 2010), and new assembly mechanisms like facilitation are starting to be considered under trait-based (Schöb et al. 2012) and…”
