The shape of success in a turbulent world: wave exposure filtering of coral reef herbivory (2017, methodology): “Swimming performance is how- ever more comprehensively described by multiple morpho- logical traits (Vill eger et al. 2010), which could reveal interspecific differences in niche breadth and herbivory.”
Functional diversity measures: an overview of their redundancy and their ability to discriminate community assembly rules (2010, background): “For instance, Villéger et al. (2010) demonstrated how habitat degradation differentially impacts each of the three components of functional diversity 2010 The Authors.”
Using functional traits and phylogenetic trees to examine the assembly of tropical tree communities (2012, background): “…in structuring diverse ecological communities, including fish (Bellwood et al. 2006; Mouillot, Dumay & Tomasini 2007; Ingram & Shurin 2009; Villéger et al. 2010), tropical trees (Kraft, Valencia & Ackerly 2008; Paine et al. 2011) and temperate woody plants (Dı́az et al. 2004; Cornwell,…”
Predicting trophic guild and diet overlap from functional traits: statistics, opportunities and limitations for marine ecology (2011, background): “These continuous traits are the most commonly used in ecomorphological studies on fishes (Sibbing & Nagel kerke 2001, Dumay et al. 2004, Mason et al. 2007, Villeger et al. 2010).”
Functional richness: Overview of indices and underlying concepts (2018, background): “Because many studies assessed communities with a smaller number of species, this property could be problematic in community ecology (e.g. Villéger et al. 2010, Luo et al. 2016, Cianciaruso et al. 2013).”
Coastal habitats and their importance for the diversity of benthic communities: A species- and trait-based approach (2019, positive): “Likewise, tropical fish in the Gulf of Mexico have a low trait but simultaneously a high taxonomic beta-diversity between assemblages (Villéger et al., 2010, 2012).”
Relationships between forest cover and fish diversity in the Amazon River floodplain (2018, background): “…unique combinations of functional traits with species that are ecological generalists having traits shared with other species, resulting in greater functional redundancy within and between local assemblages (Casatti et al., 2015; Flynn et al., 2009; Gibson et al., 2011; Villéger et al., 2010).”
