Diversidades filogenética e funcional: novas abordagens para a Ecologia de comunidades (2009, background): “Petchey & Gaston (2002, 2006) apresentaram uma medida de diversidade funcional (FD, do inglês functional diversity).”
Functional diversity measures: an overview of their redundancy and their ability to discriminate community assembly rules (2010, background): “The number of functional groups is assumed to evaluate species complementarity in resource use (Petchey 2004).”
The winners and losers of land use intensification: pollinator community disassembly is non‐random and alters functional diversity (2014, unknown): “We used a null model to distinguish whether the observed change in functional richness was higher or lower than expected given the species richness observed (Petchey, 2004).”
Functional Diversity — at the Crossroads between Ecosystem Functioning and Environmental Filters (2007, methodology): “…legumes has been empirically demonstrated in some cases (e.g., van Ruijven and Berendse 2003), but seems far from universal, and its importance likely depends on the environmental context (Fridley 2003; Dimitrakopoulos and Schmid 2004; Hooper and Dukes 2004; Petchey 2004; Hooper et al. 2005).”
Contrasting changes in taxonomic vs. functional diversity of tropical fish communities after habitat degradation. (2010, background): “…biological identity and differences among species, while a recent consensus points out the importance of particular taxa rather than species richness per se to explain ecosystem processes in plant (Petchey 2004), animal (Valone and Schutzenhofer 2007), or aquatic communities (O’Connor et al. 2008).”
Functional diversity: back to basics and looking forward. (2006, background): “One logical implication is that the performance of the candidate classification be tested against random classifications, rather than using standard parametric tests of statistical significance (Petchey 2004).”
