Using functional traits and phylogenetic trees to examine the assembly of tropical tree communities (2012, background): “…including fish (Bellwood et al. 2006; Mouillot, Dumay & Tomasini 2007; Ingram & Shurin 2009; Villéger et al. 2010), tropical trees (Kraft, Valencia & Ackerly 2008; Paine et al. 2011) and temperate woody plants (Dı́az et al. 2004; Cornwell, Schwilk & Ackerly 2006; Cornwell & Ackerly 2009).”
Scaling from Traits to Ecosystems: Developing a General Trait Driver Theory via Integrating Trait-Based and Metabolic Scaling Theories (2015, background): “271Scaling from Traits to Ecosystems estimates of the underlying distributions, as guided by sampling theory and statistics (Baraloto et al., 2010; Paine et al., 2011).”
Imputation of missing data in life‐history trait datasets: which approach performs the best? (2014, methodology): “This method is the most frequently used in previous imputations of trait data (Fisher, Blomberg & Owens 2003; Baraloto et al. 2010; Paine et al. 2011; Di Marco et al. 2012).”
A global meta-analysis of the relative extent of intraspecific trait variation in plant communities. (2015, unknown): “Recent studies have found that consideration of ITV improves the ability of trait-based analyses to make inferences about local community assembly processes (Jung et al. 2010; Paine et al. 2011; Siefert 2012a).”
Globally, functional traits are weak predictors of juvenile tree growth, and we do not know why (2015, background): “Though organ-specific functional traits are easily measured, they integrate many physiological processes, are intricately interrelated, and can be highly plastic (Russo et al. 2010; Paine et al. 2011; P erezHarguindeguy et al. 2013).”
Functional and phylogenetic assembly in a Chinese tropical tree community across size classes, spatial scales and habitats (2014, background): “…in tropical tree assem- blages are becoming prevalent particularly on tropical trees (Kraft, Valencia & Ackerly 2008; Swenson & Enquist 2009; Lebrija-Trejos et al. 2010; Paine et al. 2011; Swen- son, Anglada-Cordero & Barone 2011; Swenson et al. 2012; Ding et al. 2012; Katabuchi et al. 2012).”
Mapping functional diversity using individual tree-based morphological and physiological traits in a subtropical forest (2021, background): “Obviously, tree inventory research based on individual-level functional traits can better capture ecological processes in forest communities than methods using speciesmean traits (Paine et al., 2011).”
Branching out: Towards a trait-based understanding of fungal ecology (2015, background): “Thus, trait values among co-occurring species would be expected to be more different than expected by chance (Paine et al., 2011).”
Rethinking Community Assembly through the Lens of Coexistence Theory (2012, background): “…longer temporal or larger spatial scales, like speciation or historical constraints to regional species pools, which are covered by other studies and reviews (e.g., Emerson & Gillespie 2008, Pavoine & Bonsall 2011), nor do we address how demographic drift or dispersal influences local communities.”
