Which trait dissimilarity for functional diversity: trait means or trait overlap? (2013, background): “This should lead to lower functional diversity at stressed vs benign environments (Mason et al. 2008; Carmona et al. 2012; Munkemuller et al. 2012).”
A guide for using functional diversity indices to reveal changes in assembly processes along ecological gradients (2013, methodology): “The assumption that mass effects are not influenced by the traits linked to environmental filtering and niche complementarity is perhaps an oversimplification (Münkemüller et al. 2012).”
Decomposing functional β-diversity reveals that low functional β-diversity is driven by low functional turnover in European fish assemblages (2013, background): “Indeed, functional b-diversity is a key facet of biodiversity as it helps disentangle community assembly processes across environmental gradients or spatial scales (Pavoine & Bonsall, 2011; Stegen & Hurlbert, 2011; Swenson, 2011; Swenson et al., 2011; Münkemüller et al., 2012).”
