• Linking biotopes to invertebrates in rivers: Biological traits, taxonomic composition and diversity (2012, background): “Trait profiles based on family level identification may also be sufficient to develop a larger database than the present study at the river biotope scale (Dolédec et al., 2000; Gayraud et al., 2003).”
• Functional trait niches of North American lotic insects: traits-based ecological applications in light of phylogenetic relationships (2006, background): “Taxonomic identification at coarser levels than species (e.g., genera and families) can provide an accurate description of the trait diversity at a locality (Dolédec et al. 2000, Gayraud et al. 2003) and, therefore, taxonomic expertise and time-consuming lab work are minimized.”
• Combined effects of habitat modification on trait composition and species nestedness in river invertebrates (2010, background): “So far, however, most applications have focused on biological monitoring, pollution assessment and restoration (Gayraud et al., 2003; Statzner et al., 2007; Horrigan and Baird, 2008; Paillex et al., 2009; Tullos et al., 2009).”
• Longitudinal and altitudinal changes of macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups in neotropical streams : a test of the River Continuum Concept (2007, methodology): “The fuzzy coding technique has been widely applied to aquatic communities (e.g., UsseglioPolatera 1994, Gayraud et al. 2003, Lamouroux et al. 2004) and helps to compensate for different types and levels of information available for different species (Chevenet et al. 1994).”
• Methods for describing ecological functioning of marine benthic assemblages using biological traits analysis (BTA) (2006, background): “Trait selection is constrained by the amount of information available (Gayraud et al., 2003) and the costs of processing it.”
• Developments in aquatic insect biomonitoring: a comparative analysis of recent approaches. (2006, methodology): “In Europe, about 80% of the total environmental European Union budget is for water-related expenditures (128).”
• Functional diversity: a review of methodology and current knowledge in freshwater macroinvertebrate research (2016, background): “In a few studies, macroinvertebrates identified at genus level accurately described the variation of biological traits in the assemblages (Dolédec et al., 2000; Gayraud et al., 2003; but see Waringer et al., 2013).”
• Comparison of structural and functional approaches to determining landuse effects on grassland stream invertebrate communities (2006, methodology): “For each of the 60 species collected, we documented 53 categories of 15 biological traits in a similar manner to Usseglio-Polatera et al. (2000) and Gayraud et al. (2003).”
• Using macroinvertebrate biological traits for assessing biotic integrity of neotropical streams (2008, background): “, 2005), taxonomic resolution level (Dolédec et al., 2000; Gayraud et al., 2003) and large-scale spatial taxonomic differences (e.”
• Biological Indicator Systems in Floodplains – a Review (2006, methodology): “It can be employed for different scales such as small sectors of landscapes or for entire regions (e.g. STATZNER et al., 2001; GAYRAUD et al., 2003).”
• Contrasted impacts of climate change on stream fish assemblages along an environmental gradient (2009, background): “Indeed, functional approaches are increasingly applied to assess ecological responses to anthropogenic perturbations (Poff & Allan, 1995) or as a tool for the biomonitoring of ecosystem functions (e.g. Gayraud et al. , 2003; Doledec & Statzner, 2008).”
• Delivering on a promise: integrating species traits to transform descriptive community ecology into a predictive science (2013, background): “Trait-based analyses often use coarse trait categories that are qualitatively very similar at different taxonomic levels (e.g., species, genus, or family) (e.g., Gayraud et al. 2003).”
