• Morphological patterns and community organization in leaf-litter ant assemblages (2010, background): “Trait patterns may be accessed through analysis of guilds or functional groups, which take into consideration several traits simultaneously (Belyea and Lancaster 1999, Fargione et al. 2003, Holdaway and Sparrow 2006).”
• Moving beyond the guild concept: developing a practical functional trait framework for terrestrial beetles (2015, background): “For example, high trait diversity relative to species diversity can be evidence that competition is driving community assembly (Holdaway & Sparrow, 2006; Pavoine & Bonsall, 2011) To compare functional diversity indices with species or phylogenetic diversity, it is important for all components of…”
• Changing drivers of species dominance during tropical forest succession (2014, unknown): “Similarly, Holdaway & Sparrow (2006) found increasing evenness in functional group abundances with successional age on riverbeds and explain this by increased importance of competition at later stages of succession.”
• Evidence for scale‐ and disturbance‐dependent trait assembly patterns in dry semi‐natural grasslands (2013, background): “Earlier theory, although largely unverified empirically, predicts that there will be a shift from biotically driven divergence to abiotically driven convergence with increasing spatial scale of observation (Weiher & Keddy 1995; Holdaway & Sparrow 2006).”
• Early successional woody plants facilitate and ferns inhibit forest development on Puerto Rican landslides (2010, background): “Lycophytes, typically associated with disturbance (Tessier 2007), are adapted to the same xeric, infertile conditions in which the scrambling ferns thrive, perhaps due to guild proportionality (Holdaway & Sparrow 2006).”
