- Leaf litter traits predominantly control litter decomposition in streams worldwide (2018, background): “Litter bags with coarse meshes allow large leaf‐consuming invertebrates to contact the litter, whereas those with fine meshes exclude a large portion of invertebrates without limiting microbial colonization (Lecerf & Chauvet, 2008).”
- A multi‐trait approach reveals the structure and the relative importance of intra‐ vs. interspecific variability in plant traits (2010, background): “…Hulshof & Swenson 2010), while there is growing evidence that intraspecific functional variability, as well as genetic diversity, can have significant effects on community dynamics and ecosystem functioning (Booth & Grime 2003; Boege & Dirzo 2004; Crutsinger et al. 2006; Lecerf & Chauvet 2008).”
- Intraspecific variability and trait‐based community assembly (2010, background): “Previous studies (Madritch & Hunter 2002; Boege & Dirzo 2004; Lecerf & Chauvet 2008) have demonstrated that intraspecific trait variability can also strongly regulate ecosystem processes like decomposition or response to herbivory.”
- Quantifying the relevance of intraspecific trait variability for functional diversity (2011, unknown): “…important effects of intraspecific trait variability on community assembly, habitat selection and ecosystem functioning (Callaway, Pennings, &Richards 2003; Boege &Dirzo 2004; Lecerf & Chauvet 2008; Funk 2008; Berg & Ellers 2010; Cornwell & Ackerly 2009; Gross et al. 2009; Thuiller et al. 2009).”
- Intraspecific functional variability: extent, structure and sources of variation (2010, background): “Several recent studies, however, have shown that intraspecific FV can have significant effects on ecosystem functioning (nutrient and carbon cycles:Lecerf & Chauvet 2008; response to herbivory: Boege & Dirzo 2004).”
- Biodiversity‐ecosystem function research: Insights gained from streams (2010, background): “Overall, the phenotype may be even more relevant to BEF research than taxonomic attributes (Norberg et al., 2001; Lecerf and Chauvet, 2008).”
