Plant functional types: are we getting any closer to the Holy Grail? (2007, background): “This methodological challenge can be solved with statistical approaches (Pillar & Sosinsky 2003, Nygaard & Erjnaes 2004), but is also a more fundamental issue because of the assumption that future responses to multiple factors will be stable within groups.”
Leaf Traits as Functional Descriptors of the Intensity of Continuous Grazing in Native Grasslands in the South of Brazil (2010, methodology): “We used an approach proposed by Pillar and Sosinski (2003) to test the congruence of PFTs and specified environmental variables.”
Moving beyond the guild concept: developing a practical functional trait framework for terrestrial beetles (2015, methodology): “To help select the type and number of traits on which to conduct this analysis, iterative methods (e.g. Pillar & Sosinski, 2003) can be used to assess those traits that best explain variability.”
Discriminating trait‐convergence and trait‐divergence assembly patterns in ecological community gradients (2009, unknown): “The iterative method of Pillar & Sosinski (2003) can be used to search for an optimal trait subset taken from B in order to maximize the chosen objective function.”
Assessing species and community functional responses to environmental gradients: which multivariate methods? (2012, methodology): “Other authors have developed comparable methods that use similar components as those mentioned above (see e.g. Pillar & Sosinski 2003; Pakeman 2004).”
