How functional is functional? Ecological groupings in terrestrial animal ecology: towards an animal functional type approach (2011, background): “Functional groups, used in 19% of the animal ecological studies (31% in plant ecology) and are mostly restricted to aquatic systems (Johnson et al. 2003; Bremner et al. 2003; Dumay et al. 2004).”
A user's guide to functional diversity indices (2010, background): “…which represent adaptations to different diets or habitats, physiological traits (e.g., temperature tolerance), reproductive traits (e.g., number of eggs and egg diameter) or behavioral traits (e.g., migratory behavior or parental care) (Bremner et al. 2003, Dumay et al. 2004, Lepš et al. 2006).”
Contrasting changes in taxonomic vs. functional diversity of tropical fish communities after habitat degradation. (2010, methodology): “Since these functions are complex processes, they cannot be described using only one trait (Dumay et al. 2004, Mason et al. 2007).”
Do we protect biological originality in protected areas? A new index and an application to the Bonifacio Strait Natural Reserve (2008, methodology): “Related to the prey catching mode Orientation of the mouth Method of food acquisition (Dumay et al., 2004; Sibbing and Nagelkerke, 2001).”
