Links between community ecology theory and ecological restoration are on the rise (2018, background): “This may be due to an increased emphasis on nonlinear and nonequilibrium dynamics in restored systems or a vocabulary shift towards more modern terms such as “reassembly” (e.g. Funk et al., 2008; Hobbs & Norton, 2004) to describe community change.”
The Jungle of Methods for Evaluating Phenotypic and Phylogenetic Structure of Communities (2010, background): “Similarly, the phenotypebased approach provides a framework to protect successful restoration efforts against invasion by selecting native species with traits similar to likely invaders and maximizing trait variability (Funk et al. 2008).”
Scaling from Traits to Ecosystems: Developing a General Trait Driver Theory via Integrating Trait-Based and Metabolic Scaling Theories (2015, background): “…of trait-based data collection (Dell et al., 2013; Kattge et al., 2011), develop a more predictive ecology, and organize rapidly developing directions in traitbased ecology (Boulangeat et al., 2012; Funk et al., 2008; Lavorel et al., 2011; McGill et al., 2006; Shipley, 2010; Suding et al., 2008b).”
Priority effects and ecological restoration (2020, background): “Thus, the main goal of using priority effects derived from native species was to make communities more resistant to invasion (Funk et al. 2008).”
Functional traits and ecosystem services in ecological restoration (2020, methodology): “Because of the limitations to operationalize the use of traditional approaches of ecosystem service recovery by ecological restoration, new directions have been proposed in the literature (Funk et al. 2008; Laughlin 2014).”
Rethinking Community Assembly through the Lens of Coexistence Theory (2012, background): “…(Holmes 2001, Fargione et al. 2003), and the abiotic environment can be altered to favor desirable species by increasing relative fitness differences (e.g., by decreasing N or P levels; Harpole 2006, Jeppesen et al. 2007), or these processes can be combined for the best outcomes (Funk et al. 2008).”
Species and environmental characteristics point to flow regulation and drought as drivers of riparian plant invasion (2014, background): “Rather than allowing communities to selfassemble following hydrological modification and drought, managers could augment the propagule supply of native species that possess characteristics suitable under the new environmental conditions (Funk et al., 2008).”
Regeneration: an overlooked aspect of trait‐based plant community assembly models (2016, background): “Specifically, many examinations of community assembly have focused on seed mass as the primary trait representing a plant’s regeneration strategy (e.g. Funk et al. 2008; Kraft, Valencia & Ackerly 2008; Cornwell & Ackerly 2009).”
Soil fertility induces coordinated responses of multiple independent functional traits (2015, background): “…a given environment not only advances our fundamental understanding of community assembly (McGill et al. 2006), it will also advance our capacity to restore degraded ecosystems because it will inform the selection of species and the setting of restoration targets (Funk et al. 2008; Laughlin 2014a).”
Plant functional group identity and diversity determine biotic resistance to invasion by an exotic grass (2013, background): “1999), functional traits related to competitive ability and growth (Funk et al. 2008), and functional classification of wetland plants (Boutin & Keddy”
Invasive species: “back-seat drivers” of ecosystem change? (2012, positive): “The functional novelty of these species facilitates establishment in unaltered native communities (Fargione et al. 2003; Funk et al. 2008).”
Trait plasticity in species interactions: a driving force of community dynamics (2010, background): “The phenomenon that invasive species have higher trait plasticity than indigenous species seems to be widespread in both plants and animals (Callaway et al. 2003; Chown et al. 2007; Funk 2008; Engel and Tollrian 2009).”
Are urban systems beneficial, detrimental, or indifferent for biological invasion? (2017, background): “…independent of other factors, NIS most similar to native species compete the most and have the greatest impact on native abundance and diversity (Funk et al. 2008; Li et al. 2015; MacDougall et al. 2009; Pokorny et al. 2005), though this is not universally true since a distantly related NIS…”
