- Functional traits as indicators of biodiversity response to land use changes across ecosystems and organisms (2010, methodology): “Ground beetles (Carabidae) are often used as indicators because they are taxonomically and functionally diverse, widely-distributed and abundant, well studied, and are sensitive to habitat heterogeneity and land-use within individual countries ( Vanbergen et al. 2005 ).”
- Fish Traits: A Database of Ecological and Life‐history Traits of Freshwater Fishes of the United States (2009, background): “For example, Vieira et al. (2006) distinguished biological and ecological traits; biological traits comprised morphological, physiological, and life history traits whereas ecological traits comprised environmental preferences and associated behaviors.”
- Rapid loss of glacial ice reveals stream community assembly processes (2012, methodology): “Traits were characterized for 37 taxa using the database of Poff et al. (2006) for insects, and for non-insects using the meta-database of traits for North American invertebrates developed by Vieira et al. (2006).”
- Trait-Based Approaches in the Analysis of Stream Fish Communities (2010, background): “…because ecological traits are defined by species’ observed behaviors, preferences, and lethal tolerances (e.g., diet and temperature selections), it seems tautological to apply these traits in tests of responses of species to environmental gradients that defined the traits (Vieira et al. 2006).”
- Synthesising the trait information of European Chironomidae (Insecta: Diptera): Towards a new database (2016, background): “Since traits are indicators of function, community trait composition allows a better understanding of stream functioning (Vieira et al., 2006).”
- Carabids.org – a dynamic online database of ground beetle species traits (Coleoptera, Carabidae) (2014, background): “E-mail: homburg@uni.leuphana.de 2013 The Royal Entomological Society 195 examples cover lotic invertebrates (Vieira et al., 2006) and freshwater fishes (e.g. Coker et al., 2001; Frimpong & Angermeier, 2009) only.”
- Taxonomic sufficiency: The influence of taxonomic resolution on freshwater bioassessments using benthic macroinvertebrates (2008, background): “…however, fuzzy coding may be a partial solution because it allows one to express the diversity of states occurring either among related species or among members of the same species, as may occur between different life stages, or between individuals living in different locales (Vieira et al. 2006).”
