Citations in the corpus

• Conservation biogeography of freshwater fishes: recent progress and future challenges (2010, positive): “Recent attention has also focused on developing and applying indices of functional diversity (i.e., functional richness, evenness and divergence) to allow for a more mechanistic approach to testing ecological theory (Villéger et al., 2008).”
• Correlations between phylogenetic and functional diversity: mathematical artefacts or true ecological and evolutionary processes? (2013, background): “FEve (Vill eger et al. 2008) is an abundance-weighted measure of functional regularity.”
• Unifying Species Diversity, Phylogenetic Diversity, Functional Diversity, and Related Similarity and Differentiation Measures Through Hill Numbers (2014, background): “A large array of functional diversity measures have been developed in the literature (Walker et al. 1999, Petchey & Gaston 2002, Dı́az et al. 2007, Villéger et al. 2008, Poos et al. 2009, Schmera et al. 2009, Laliberte & Legendre 2010, Mouchet et al. 2010, Chiu & Chao 2014).”
• Functional homogenization exceeds taxonomic homogenization among European fish assemblages (2014, methodology): “Indeed, the functional richness of an assemblage can be measured as the volume of the convex hull shaping all the species in a multidimensional functional space (Villéger et al., 2008).”
• Traits Without Borders: Integrating Functional Diversity Across Scales. (2016, methodology): “Functional divergence (FDiv; C) is an indicator of the distribution of abundances within the functional trait volume.”
