A trait-based approach to ocean ecology (2018, background): “, 2015), because ecosystem function may relate to trait diversity rather than to species diversity (Cadotte et al., 2011; Duffy et al., 2016) and trait-based models have recently been used to explore the issue for phytoplankton communities (Goebel et al.”
Does pollen-assemblage richness reflect floristic richness? A review of recent developments and future challenges (2016, positive): “The relation 1219 between FD and taxonomic richness and diversity is complex as it appears to be context-dependent 1220 (Cadotte et al., 2011).”
Global raptor research and conservation priorities: Tropical raptors fall prey to knowledge gaps (2019, background): “…around different viable goals, including preserving evolutionary distinctness (Jetz et al., 2014; Redding & Mooers, 2006), ecological functions (Cadotte et al., 2011) or inves‐ tigating pressures from an issue‐based approach (e.g., investigating impacts of climate change; Bellard,…”
Nutrient acquisition strategies in agroforestry systems (2019, background): “trophic interactions) (Cadotte et al. 2011; Cardinale et al. 2012), biologically complex agroforestry systems often reveal greater ecosystem functioning and a reduced reliance on chemical inputs (Drinkwater and Snapp 2007; Malézieux et al.”
Evaluation of functional trait diversity for marine zooplankton communities in the Northeast subarctic Pacific Ocean (2015, background): “In fact, different functional traits can reflect individual responses to different environmental gradients with minimal change in richness, making FRic or other functional diversity indices better at capturing variation in ecosystem function (Cadotte et al., 2011).”
Linking the impacts of plant invasion on community functional structure and ecosystem properties (2016, background): “The functional structure of the community is the composition and distribution of functional groups, that is, groups of species sharing similar values of traits (Díaz & Cabido 2001; Cadotte et al. 2011; Hejda & de Bello 2013; Finegan et al. 2015).”
Traits Without Borders: Integrating Functional Diversity Across Scales. (2016, background): “Consequently, functional trait-based approaches have great potential to address a variety of ecological questions [6], including the impact of global change on biodiversity and ecosystem service delivery [3,7–9], ecological restoration [10], or the assembly of biological communities [4,5,11].”
