Identifying Causes of Patterns in Ecological Networks: Opportunities and Limitations (2017, background): “Trait matching occurs in very distinct networks, from mutualistic pollination and seed dispersal networks to marine food webs and parasitoid–host interactions (Stang et al. 2009, Eklöf et al. 2013, Junker et al. 2013, Dehling et al. 2014).”
Morphological trait matching shapes plant–frugivore networks across the Andes (2018, methodology): “Matching traits have been previously identified in studies of mutualistic plant–animal interaction networks (Wheelwright 1985, Jordano 1987, Stang et al. 2009, Dehling et al. 2014, Maglianesi et al. 2015) and can be categorized into two groups.”
Biotic interactions in species distribution modelling: 10 questions to guide interpretation and avoid false conclusions (2018, background): “…would be most informative if the functional relevance of traits and trait surrogates is carefully tested before they are used to infer and quantify species interactions in ecological communities (Brousseau, Gravel, & Handa, 2017; Dehling et al., 2014; Ibanez, Lavorel, Puijalon, & Moretti, 2013).”
Functional structure and specialization in three tropical plant-hummingbird interaction networks across an elevational gradient in Costa Rica (2015, background): “Moreover, a reduced functional diversity of plant resources could constrain the functional diversity of the dependent consumer guild (Dehling et al. 2014b).”
The community ecology of invasive species: where are we and what's next? (2017, unknown): “…in community ecology is to study the functional co-variation of the traits of species in one trophic level (e.g. fleshy fruits plants: fruit size and length) with the functional characteristics of species in another trophic level (e.g. frugivore birds: beak size and breadth; Dehling et al. 2014).”
