• Plant DNA barcodes: Applications today and in the future (2017, background): “In one of the largest investigations in tropical forests, Baraloto et al. (2012) measured and compared 17 functional traits in 668 species across nine forest plots in the northern Amazon region.”
• Phylogenetic patterns are not proxies of community assembly mechanisms (they are far better) (2015, background): “There are multiple methodological approaches that may help identifying the effect of lineage-pools of habitats (Hardy 2008) and there are others permitting to filter them out (Hardy & Senterre 2007, Baraloto et al. 2012).”
• Plant traits and taxonomy drive host associations in tropical phyllosphere fungal communities1 (2014, background): “Several studies have reported weak or absent phylogenetic signals in many tropical tree traits (Metali et al. 2012; Baraloto et al. 2012).”
• Contrasting taxonomic and functional responses of a tropical tree community to selective logging (2012, methodology): “For species from the Paracou inventories that had not been sampled for functional traits, we substituted themean values for all individuals pertaining to the next higher taxonomic level, as these traits show weak but significant phylogenetic signal (Baraloto et al. 2012).”
• Contrasting changes in taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity during a long‐term succession: insights into assembly processes (2013, methodology): “Following Hardy & Senterre (2007) (see also Baraloto et al. 2012), phylogenetic and functional diversity were estimated within a consistent framework, based on the spatial decomposition of between-species evolutionary relatedness or trait similarity into within- (alpha) and between- (beta)…”
