Species richness, but not phylogenetic diversity, influences community biomass production and temporal stability in a re-examination of 16 grassland biodiversity studies (2015, background): “…modern species is a reasonable proxy for ecological 562 similarity (Prinzing et al. 2001, Freckleton et al. 2002, Johnson & Stinchcombe 2007, 563 Losos 2008, Wiens et al. 2010, Cavender-Bares & Reich 2012, Narwani et al. 2013, Kelly 564 et al. 2014, Venail et al. 2014, Münkemüller et al. in press).”
Demographic drivers of successional changes in phylogenetic structure across life-history stages in plant communities (2012, background): “Combining long-term and demographic data in phylogenetic studies is therefore a critical step for developing a clear understanding of the processes driving community assembly (see also Cadotte et al. 2012, Cavender-Bares and Reich 2012).”
Functional and phylogenetic assembly in a Chinese tropical tree community across size classes, spatial scales and habitats (2014, background): “…have shown that disturbed communities contain more clustered traits and closely related species than non- disturbed ones (Helmus et al. 2010; Cavender-Bares & Reich 2012; Ding et al. 2012), suggesting that species in these disturbed communities are non-randomly filtered on the basis of…”
