Phylogenetic diversity, trait diversity and niches: species assembly of ferns along a tropical elevational gradient (2011, background): “Climatic conditions, disturbance regimes or biotic interactions have been suggested as the main environmental filters removing species that lack appropriate traits for persistence under particular conditions (‘assembly rules’ sensu Keddy, 1992; see also Dı́az et al., 1998; Duckworth et al., 2000).”
Can CSR classification be generally applied outside Britain? (2010, background): “However, the ISP—which essentially calibrates CSR classification—has been criticised because only 43 British species were investigated and it ‘‘may not be applicable elsewhere’’ (Duckworth et al. 2000).”
