Does biodiversity make a difference? Relationships between species richness, evolutionary diversity, and aboveground live tree biomass across U.S. forests. (2014, background): “Perhaps more importantly, evolutionary history metrics are expected to better represent variation in the functional traits present in a community, at least in some cases (Faith, 2002; Forest et al., 2007; Cadotte et al., 2008, 2009).”
Aboveground carbon storage is driven by functional trait composition and stand structural attributes rather than biodiversity in temperate mixed forests recovering from disturbances (2018, background): “Since phylogenetic diversity (PD) reflects the evolutionary history of species, it is increasingly recognized as a predictor of the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem function (Cadotte et al. 2008; Kembel et al. 2010).”
Plant functional diversity modulates global environmental change effects on grassland productivity (2018, background): “Phylogenetic diversity has recently been proposed as a convenient proxy of species functional trait distribution, on the ground that more closely related species tend to share more similar traits (Cadotte et al., 2008).”
The Jungle of Methods for Evaluating Phenotypic and Phylogenetic Structure of Communities (2010, methodology): “Similarly, phylogenetic community structure can be tested by computing the phylogenetic signal of an occupancy measure (e.g., occurrence, abundance; Cadotte et al. 2009).”
The effect of biodiversity on tree productivity: from temperate to boreal forests (2011, background): “, 2002), and evolutionary history has also been proposed as a better predictor of ecosystem functions than species richness (Cadotte et al., 2008).”
Biodiversity, phenology and temporal niche differences between native- and novel exotic-dominated grasslands (2011, background): “…whether exotics are mixed or kept separate from natives, and this suggests that we need research on the mechanisms behind these native–exotic differences, including more detailed study on how trait differences (Cadotte et al., 2008; Wardle et al., 2011) vary between native and exotic species.”
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning (2014, background): “Functional trait or phylogenetic distance indices can also be strong correlates of responses (Cadotte et al. 2008, Flynn et al. 2011).”
Microbiomes in light of traits: A phylogenetic perspective (2015, background): “For instance, one question of broad interest is whether phylogenetic diversity (the amount of phylogenetic distance between all species in a community) influences ecosystem functioning (92, 93).”
From Animalcules to an Ecosystem: Application of Ecological Concepts to the Human Microbiome (2012, background): “For example, higher alpha diversity tends to decrease the susceptibility of a wide range of ecosystem-level processes to disturbance events or environmental stressors (Cadotte et al. 2008, Cardinale et al. 2011, Hooper et al. 2005).”
The merging of community ecology and phylogenetic biology. (2009, background): “Horner-Devine & Bohannen 2006, Davies et al. 2007, Helmus et al. 2007, Cahill et al. 2008 Herbivore ⁄ Pathogen specificity + Webb et al. 2006, Gilbert & Webb 2007 Herbivore facilitated ecological sorting + ) Fine et al. 2004, 2006, Cavender-Bares et al. 2006, Verdú & Pausas 2007, Kraft et al. 2007…”
Species richness, but not phylogenetic diversity, influences community biomass production and temporal stability in a re-examination of 16 grassland biodiversity studies (2015, methodology): “…instances where phylogenetic diversity was positively 129 related to ecosystem functioning, it tended to explain only a small fraction more of the 130 variation than species richness (Cadotte et al. 2008, Cadotte et al. 2009, Cadotte 2013, but 131 see Paquette & Messier 2011, Cadotte et al. 2012).”
