Biodiversity and Climate Change: Integrating Evolutionary and Ecological Responses of Species and Communities (2010, background): “Although nonrandom phylogenetic structure tends to rule out neutral assembly of communities, it is however challenging to distinguish between different niche-based scenarios that may operate at different spatial, temporal, and phylogenetic scales (Cavender-Bares et al. 2009).”
Functional classifications and their application in phytoplankton ecology (2015, background): “In this respect, more accurate phylogenetic analyses should be assessed for their potential to contribute synergistically to trait-based approaches (see Westoby, 2006; Kraft et al., 2007; Cavender-Bares et al., 2009; Litchman et al., 2010; Vamosi, 2014).”
Phylogenetic and functional characteristics of household yard floras and their changes along an urbanization gradient (2012, background): “In natural systems, community assembly is driven by biogeographic processes, the regional species pool, dispersal, environmental filtering, and density-dependent species interactions (Cavender-Bares et al. 2009).”
Generalized linear mixed models for phylogenetic analyses of community structure (2011, background): “These models do not make up an exhaustive list of PGLMMs that can be developed; instead, we chose models that address frequently asked questions in the phylogenetic ecology literature (Webb et al. 2002, Cavender-Bares et al. 2009).”
Demographic drivers of successional changes in phylogenetic structure across life-history stages in plant communities (2012, background): “Recent studies have shown that many processes can affect phylogenetic structure (Cavender-Bares et al. 2009).”
Using Phylogenetic, Functional and Trait Diversity to Understand Patterns of Plant Community Productivity (2009, background): “Phylogenetic information may be a way to scale from organismal physiology to ecosystem-level processes [56,57].”
Is successional research nearing its climax? New approaches for understanding dynamic communities (2015, background): “Historical environmental conditions are now interpreted in light of their influence on current patterns (e.g. of biodiversity, Fritz et al. 2013) or processes (e.g., community assembly, Cavender-Bares et al. 2009).”
Tree of life for the genera of Chinese vascular plants (2016, methodology): “Ecologists have more commonly applied phylogenetics to the study of community dynamics by using detailed information (e.g., Webb et al., 2002; Cavender-Bares et al., 2009).”
Elevational gradients in phylogenetic structure of ant communities reveal the interplay of biotic and abiotic constraints on diversity (2011, background): “One promising approach to infer the underlying processes shaping spatial variation in community composition is the use of phylogenetic tools (Cavender-Bares et al. 2009). Modern approaches build on the earlier use of taxonomic similarity to understand the assembly of communities (Elton 1946, Simberl”
Viewing leaf structure and evolution from a hydraulic perspective (2010, background): “…form, function and ecology are likely to interact to determine the evolution of leaf hydraulic architecture within any given lineage, and the set of architectures that assemble and persist in given plant communities (cf. Kraft et al. 2008; Cavender-Bares et al. 2009; Cornwell and Ackerly 2009).”
Evaluation of functional trait diversity for marine zooplankton communities in the Northeast subarctic Pacific Ocean (2015, background): “Furthermore, community-level weighted means (CWM) of trait values can easily represent the dominant functional composition of communities (Ricotta, 2005; Cavender-Bares et al., 2009).”
Soil resource availability shapes community trait structure in a species‐rich dipterocarp forest (2012, background): “The phylogenetic structure of the community will help to link the assembly of the community to its evolutionary history (Cavender-Bares et al. 2009).”
The world‐wide ‘fast–slow’ plant economics spectrum: a traits manifesto (2014, background): “Bares 2012), closely related taxa are often more alike in terms of their traits than would occur randomly, because of shared history (H9) (Cavender-Bares et al. 2009).”
Phytoplankton community composition can be predicted best in terms of morphological groups (2011, background): “It has been suggested that in larger organisms, the occurrence of phylogenetic clustering may be caused in part by biogeographic history (Hillebrand 2004; Cavender-Bares et al. 2009).”
Effects of plant phylogenetic diversity on herbivory depend on herbivore specialization (2014, background): “2012) and plant diversity effects on ecosystem functioning (Cadotte, Cardinale & Oakley 2008; Cavender-Bares et al. 2009; Flynn et al. 2011), but its role in associational resistance to herbivores has seldom been explored (Yguel et al.”
