The role of eco-evolutionary experience in invasion success (2013, unknown): “Other ecological groupings (e.g. functional groups or types) can be used instead of guilds as well (for more details on ecological groupings, see e.g. Hawkins and MacMahon 1989, Wilson 1999, Blondel 2003, Blaum et al. 2011).”
Long-Term Trends in Bird Populations: A Review of Patterns and Potential Drivers in North America and Europe (2013, background): “Various traits could mirror the effects of various environmental filters and the investigation of several traits in concert could uncover complex causal mechanisms leading to functional communitylevel responses (Blaum et al. 2011).”
Towards novel approaches to modelling biotic interactions in multispecies assemblages at large spatial extents (2012, background): “Recently, there have been suggestions for animal ecology to develop more comprehensive grouping schemes that consider traits other than those involved in resource acquisition (Blaum et al., 2011).”
Ecological correlates of dispersal distance in terrestrial mammals (2013, background): “In this respect, the development of tools that allow the estimation of unknown parameters can be extremely important (Macdonald and Johnson, 2001; Blaum et al., 2011).”
Local forest structure, climate and human disturbance determine regional distribution of boreal bird species richness in Alberta, Canada (2013, background): “Beyond diet, habitat preference and migratory behaviour, other traits related to demographic rates, natal and breeding dispersal, competitive abilities or predator avoidance may also need consideration (Blaum et al., 2011; Carnicer et al., 2012).”
Moving beyond the guild concept: developing a practical functional trait framework for terrestrial beetles (2015, background): “Trophic guild (Moran & Southwood, 1982; Novotny & Basset, 2000; Blaum et al., 2011), life history (Davies et al.”
