- 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).”
- Global gaps in trait data for terrestrial vertebrates (2020, background): “If the responses of species to a threat consistently relate to certain traits, it is possible to generalize patterns across species for which population data are less available (Verberk et al., 2013).”
- Ecological drivers of multiple facets of beta diversity in a lentic macroinvertebrate metacommunity (2017, background): “This is because there should be a close association between functional traits and environmental conditions (e.g., Verberk et al. 2013), whereas species distributions may also be affected by dispersal and other stochastic forces that decrease the match between community composition and environmental…”
- Functional diversity: a review of methodology and current knowledge in freshwater macroinvertebrate research (2016, background): “Although we do not state that the conclusions drawn from these studies are incorrect, we argue following Verberk et al. (2013) that ecological traits describing habitat preferences of macroinvertebrates should not be used for assessing functional diversity because ecological traits should be…”
- The role of dispersal in river network metacommunities: Patterns, processes, and pathways (2018, background): “…224 combinations, and life-history strategies that incorporate trade-offs (i.e. body size, development 225 time, wing size, reproductive capacity) associated with such traits and strategies will likely 226 improve the predictive ability of traits (Poff, 1997; Verberk et al., 2008, 2013).”
- Land cover disturbance homogenizes aquatic insect functional structure in neotropical savanna streams (2018, background): “Although we made individual predictions, we are aware that traits correlate in organisms (Verberk et al., 2013).”
