Biological Indicator Systems in Floodplains – a Review (2006, methodology): “Subsequently, it has been used to develop biomonitoring tools that use general biological traits of organisms that indicate ecological functions (DOLÉDEC et al., 1999; USSEGLIO-POLATERA et al., 2000; STATZNER et al., 2001; GAYRAUD et al., 2003; BADY et al., 2005).”
The effect of taxonomic resolution on the assessment of ecological water quality classes (2004, methodology): “We therefore share the view of Usseglio-Polatera et al. (2000) that continuing studies on fundamental life history traits and the ecological requirements of species to improve our knowledge on such biological and ecological information is one of our most important future tasks.”
Habitat variation, species diversity and ecological functioning in a marine system (2008, background): “…of functional traits to define functional diversity has been pioneered in terrestrial and freshwater systems (e.g., Keddy, 1992; TownsendandHildrew,1994),where linksbetween functional traits and ecosystemprocesses have been established (e.g., Usseglio-Polatera et al., 2000; Dıaz and Cabido, 2001).”
Assessment of functional integrity of eutrophic streams using litter breakdown and benthic macroinvertebrates (2006, methodology): “Biological and ecological groups and subgroups of macroinvertebrates were previously defined using multivariate methods applied to the trait tables ( Usseglio-Polatera et al. 2000 b, 2001).”
Taxonomic sufficiency: The influence of taxonomic resolution on freshwater bioassessments using benthic macroinvertebrates (2008, methodology): “…datasets are re-cast, using functional- or biologicaltrait information (such as foraging behaviours, habitat preferences, or life-history strategies), into sites-by-trait datasets (e.g., Statzner et al. 1994; Townsend and Hildrew 1994; Usseglio-Polatera et al. 2000; Dolédec et al. 2006).”
A review of approaches for classifying benthic habitats and evaluating habitat quality. (2004, background): “, 1999; Kashian and Burton, 2000), and (ix) multivariate data treatment such as MDS, PCA and other similarity based statistics (Clements et al., 1992; Zamora-Muñoz and Alba-Tercedor, 1996; Jansen et al., 2000; Usseglio-Polatera et al., 2000; Rosenberg et al., 2002).”
