New multidimensional functional diversity indices for a multifaceted framework in functional ecology. (2008, background): “From a geometrical point of view, a species’ functional niche may be described by its position in a functional-trait space (Rosenfeld 2002).”
Why network analysis is often disconnected from community ecology: A critique and an ecologist's guide (2010, background): “For instance, to reveal whether biodiversity is important for maintaining ecosystem functioning, knowledge about (functional) niche complementarity is crucial (Rosenfeld, 2002).”
The shape of success in a turbulent world: wave exposure filtering of coral reef herbivory (2017, background): “High herbivore diversity may not necessarily herald high functional redundancy (Bellwood, Hoey & Howard Choat 2003; Micheli & Halpern 2005), especially when the latter is interpreted in light of the inherent multidimensionality of species’ trophic niches (Rosenfeld 2002).”
Geographical variation in host specificity of fleas (Siphonaptera) parasitic on small mammals: the influence of phylogeny and local environmental conditions (2004, background): “This also corresponds to the more contemporary definition of the functional niche (Tokeshi 1999, Rosenfeld 2002 ).”
Ghosts of the coast: global extinction risk and conservation of sawfishes (2016, background): “The loss of functionally important speciesmay result in a loss of ecosystem functionality (Rosenfeld, 2002).”
Life-history strategies predict fish invasions and extirpations in the colorado river basin (2006, background): “These ﬁndings have a number of important ramiﬁcations for linking patterns of anthropogenic alteration to functional aspects of community structure, including functional redundancy (Rosenfeld 2002), diversity (Petchey et al. 2004), and regularity (Mouillot et al. 2005).”
Functional diversity: a review of methodology and current knowledge in freshwater macroinvertebrate research (2016, background): “The concept of functional redundancy is based on observations that some species perform similar roles in communities and ecosystems, and may therefore be substituted with no or very little impact on ecosystem processes (Rosenfeld, 2002; Dolédec & Bonada, 2013).”
Functional diversity: back to basics and looking forward. (2006, background): “The number of traits (as well as correlations between them and their relative weighting) can under certain circumstances alter the level of functional redundancy that an assemblage appears to exhibit (Petchey & Gaston 2002a; Rosenfeld 2002).”
The Causes and Consequences of Compensatory Dynamics in Ecological Communities (2009, positive): “F or p er so na l u se o nl y. (Naeem 1998, Rosenfeld 2002, Walker 1995) and complementarity (Frost et al. 1995, Ives 1995, Loreau 2004, Petchey 2003).”
Contrasted impacts of climate change on stream fish assemblages along an environmental gradient (2009, background): “This functional redundancy is based on the observation that some species perform similar roles in the assemblages and may therefore be replaceable with little impact on ecosystem functioning (Lawton & Brown, 1993; Rosenfeld, 2002; Micheli & Halpern, 2005).”
The meaning of the term ‘function’ in ecology: A coral reef perspective (2018, background): “This is grounded 194 in both theoretical and mathematical reasoning ( Rosenfeld 2002) and can be seen in 195 numerous groups across the tree of life (e.”
