Testing the ability of functional diversity indices to detect trait convergence and divergence using individual‐based simulation (2016, background): “Other functional or phylogenetic diversity indices (Pavoine & Bonsall 2011) or test statistics unrelated to the concept of functional diversity (e.g. Pillar et al. 2009; Shipley, Paine & Baraloto 2012; De Bello et al. 2013b; Shipley 2014) are less widely used, but they could potentially highly…”
Assessing species and community functional responses to environmental gradients: which multivariate methods? (2012, methodology): “Pillar et al. (2009) have recently proposed a method using partial Mantel correlations and a null model to evaluate correlations between trait-based described communities and ecological gradients and to sort out trait convergence and trait divergence.”
Regeneration: an overlooked aspect of trait‐based plant community assembly models (2016, background): “(e.g., Ackerly & Cornwell 2007; Pillar et al. 2009; Spasojevic & Suding 2012; Laughlin & Laughlin 2013; Loranger et al. 2016), the required inputs and desired outputs are generally similar (Fig.”
Moving beyond the guild concept: developing a practical functional trait framework for terrestrial beetles (2015, background): “Furthermore, using different trait sets may lead to different conclusions about community assembly (Pillar et al., 2009) and different ecosystem service predictions (Butterfield & Suding, 2013).”
