Moving beyond the guild concept: developing a practical functional trait framework for terrestrial beetles (2015, background): “taxonomic works) can allow for large-scale trait patterns to be analysed quickly and cost-effectively (Homburg et al., 2014), and some traits, such as feeding guild, are rarely measured directly.”
