Life history trait diversity of native freshwater fishes in North America (2010, background): “In combination with similar trait investigations for other freshwater taxa, including macrophytes (Bornette et al. 1994), aquatic insects (Poff et al. 2006; Verberk et al. 2008; Statzner & Bêche 2010), crayfish (Larson & Olden, in press) and amphibians (Sodhi et al. 2008), we believe that…”
Hydrology shapes taxonomic and functional structure of desert stream invertebrate communities (2015, background): “Each taxon was represented by a combination of traits, known as its functional trait niche (FTN) (Poff et al. 2006).”
Biodiversity of traits and species both show weak responses to hydromorphological alteration in lowland river macroinvertebrates (2014, background): “, 2011), probably because the trait niches of the community members could not be accounted for by single composite measures of community trait composition, such as functional diversity (Poff et al., 2006).”
Current use of and future needs for soil invertebrate functional traits in community ecology (2014, background): “Inter-correlation can therefore cause that traits appear decoupled from 399 environmental changes (Statzner, Dolédec & Hugueny 2004; Poff et al. 2006).”
Macroinvertebrate community structure and biological traits related to flow permanence in a Mediterranean river network (2007, background): “Applied to river ecosystems, examples from the Habitat Templet Theory (River Habitat Templet by Townsend & Hildrew, 1994—RHT) include a wide array of aquatic organisms, from fungi to amphibians and fish (e.g., Joly & Morand, 1994; Muotka & Virtaten, 1995; Pattee & Chergui, 1995; Biggs et al., 1998; ”
Identifying North American freshwater invertebrates using DNA barcodes: are existing COI sequence libraries fit for purpose? (2018, background): “As freshwater biomonitoring moves toward a diagnostic, trait-based framework (Poff et al. 2006, Baird andHajibabaei 2012), demand is increasing for higher taxonomic resolution and better representation of the full benthic community than is routinely obtained in most biomonitoring programs.”
Life-history strategies in freshwater macroinvertebrates (2008, background): “, 1997; Ilg & Castella, 2006) or apply a phylogenetic correction (Felsenstein, 1985; Poff et al., 2006).”
A trait-based approach to assess the vulnerability of European aquatic insects to climate change (2013, background): “This gradient arises from the underlying eco-evolutionary linkages among traits that determine recurrent combinations (also called functional trait niches, Poff et al., 2006) upon which species strategies may be defined (Verberk et al., 2013).”
Dispersal traits drive the phylogenetic distance decay of similarity in Neotropical stream metacommunities (2015, methodology): “The significant phylogenetic distance decay relationship that we found only for large-bodied univoltine genera with highflight capacity indicates that trait syndromes (Poff et al., 2006) linked to life-history strategies determine phylobetadiversity in aquatic insects.”
Biodiversity of Aquatic Insects: Spatial Gradients and Environmental Correlates of Assemblage-Level Measures at Large Scales (2009, neutral): “However, although most recent studies have certainly addressed multiple important traits (Gayraud et al., 2003; Lamouroux et al., 2004; Poff et al., 2006), there has typically been rather little division between the traits that are truly functional in terms of ecosystem functioning and those that…”
The three Rs of river ecosystem resilience: Resources, recruitment, and refugia (2019, background): “Labile traits may be more directly related to the environment than non-labile traits (Poff et al., 2006; Verberk et al., 2013; Saito et al. 2016), which in turn suggests that labile traits are better indicators of resilience than phylogenetically conserved traits, at least when considering…”
Influence of forest cover and mesohabitat types on functional and taxonomic diversity of fish communities in Neotropical lowland streams (2012, background): “This approach was conservative, but it was sufficient for an analysis of the communities’ general patterns (Poff et al. 2006).”
