Spatial scale and intraspecific trait variability mediate assembly rules in alpine grasslands (2017, background): “In agreement with previous studies (de Bello et al. 2013; Hulshof et al. 2013), we found that communities tended to be more functionally convergent in sites at upper elevations experiencing a brief snow-free period.”
Functional trait metrics are sensitive to the completeness of the species' trait data? (2014, background): “What is not known is how such an approach would impact on the behaviour of FD metrics (de Bello et al. 2013).”
Traits Without Borders: Integrating Functional Diversity Across Scales. (2016, background): “The TPD-based approach explicitly considers species abundances and ITV, is sensitive to gaps in the functional volume, and is less sensitive to outliers [47], making it preferable to pre-existing methods that use the convex hull volume in the calculation of FRic and FDiv [14].”
