Benthos distribution modelling and its relevance for marine ecosystem management (2015, background): “Hence, DM of life history or biological traits such as, for example, reproduction, mobility, maturity, bioturbation, and feeding modes, deserves more attention as these traits are significant determinants of ecological functioning of benthic systems, and consequently important descriptors for a sust”
Extensive gaps and biases in our knowledge of a well‐known fauna: implications for integrating biological traits into macroecology (2012, positive): “Traits-based descriptors of ecological composition and function, including applications to macroecology, have been attempted for subsets of the UK’s marine fauna (e.g. Solan et al., 2004; Bremner et al., 2006; Tillin et al., 2006; Webb et al., 2009), but the extent to which such approaches can be ge”
Patterns in Taxonomic and Functional Diversity of Macrobenthic Invertebrates Across Seagrass Habitats: a Case Study in Atlantic Canada (2015, background): “…to examine the effects of spatial and temporal scale (e.g. Bremner et al. 2006), perturbations such as trawling, dredging and eutrophication (e.g. Tillin et al. 2006; Paganelli et al. 2012; Wan Hussin et al. 2012) and implemented management measures (Veríssimo et al. 2012; Dolbeth et al. 2013)…”
