A macroecological perspective of trait patterns in stream communities (2013, methodology): “This difficulty pertains to the situation that there are often trade-offs between traits suited for living in a certain type of habitat (Townsend & Hildrew, 1994; Usseglio-Polatera et al., 2000; Verberk et al., 2008).”
Comparison of structural and functional approaches to determining landuse effects on grassland stream invertebrate communities (2006, methodology): “For each of the 60 species collected, we documented 53 categories of 15 biological traits in a similar manner to Usseglio-Polatera et al. (2000) and Gayraud et al. (2003).”

Taxonomic sufficiency in freshwater ecosystems: effects of taxonomic resolution, functional traits, and data transformation (2013, background): “Alternative groupings, such as feeding type, reproductive strategy, locomotion type, and habitat preference, can provide valuable information about ecosystem functions and processes (Usseglio-Polatera et al. 2000, Mouillot et al. 2005, Siefert 2012).”
Functional traits as indicators of biodiversity response to land use changes across ecosystems and organisms (2010, methodology): “An overview of the traits of European benthic macroinvertebrate genera is provided by Usseglio-Polatera et al. (2000) and Statzner et al. (2007).”
Functional biodiversity of macroinvertebrate assemblages along major ecological gradients of boreal headwater streams (2005, background): “assemblages in relation to multiple environmental gradients, although the need for such studies has been clearly identified (Poff, 1997; Usseglio-Polatera et al., 2000).”
The apportionment of quadratic entropy: a useful alternative for partitioning diversity in ecological data (2005, unknown): “Two species traits were selected from existing databases (Usseglio-Polatera et al., 2000; Statzner et al., 2001; Gayraud et al., 2003).”

(2000) recognised that traits related to morphology, physiology and life history (Eltonian traits) appeared to be more constrained by phylogeny than traits related to behaviour and habitat preferences (Grinnellian traits).”
