Measuring nutritional diversity of national food supplies (2014, background): “The use of functional diversity metrics has grown in ecology to measure the diversity of functional traits in a given area (Petchey et al., 2009; Schleuter et al., 2010; Weiher, 2012).”
Functional diversity: a review of methodology and current knowledge in freshwater macroinvertebrate research (2016, neutral): “…and methodological definitions (Petchey et al., 2004; Botta-Dukát, 2005; Mason et al., 2005; Mouillot et al., 2005; Ricotta, 2005; Petchey & Gaston, 2006; Ricotta & Moretti, 2008; Villéger et al., 2008; Poos et al., 2009; Laliberté & Legendre, 2010; Mouchet et al., 2010; Schleuter et al., 2010).”
Trait-based ecological classifications for benthic algae: review and perspectives (2016, background): “The first attempts on these metrics, which have been tested on virtual animal trait database, are promising (Schleuter et al., 2010).”
Functional richness: Overview of indices and underlying concepts (2018, methodology): “The FRim index is then obtained as the integral of the maximum of all fs functions (integrated over the studied trait space, see Schleuter et al. 2010 for further details).”
Functional diversity metrics using kernel density n-dimensional hypervolumes (2020, methodology): “…al., 2014)] is used to represent the average distance of all functional elements to the centroid. kernel.evenness This function measures the functional evenness of an hypervolume, namely the regularity of functional elements distribution within the total functional space (Schleuter et al., 2010).”
From traits to life‐history strategies: Deconstructing fish community composition across European seas (2017, background): “59 Introduction 60 Trait-based study of biodiversity has been an expanding field in recent decades (Petchey & Gaston 2002, 61 Schleuter et al. 2010, Cadotte et al. 2013).”
Patterns in Taxonomic and Functional Diversity of Macrobenthic Invertebrates Across Seagrass Habitats: a Case Study in Atlantic Canada (2015, methodology): “…diversity indices were developed in terrestrial ecology and are well used there (Mason et al. 2005; Petchey and Gaston 2006; Villéger et al. 2008; Schleuter et al. 2010) but are used to a lesser extent in marine ecology (e.g. Paganelli et al. 2012; Wan Hussin et al. 2012; Törnroos et al. 2014).”
