• Effects of disturbance frequency and severity on plant traits: An assessment across a temperate flora (2018, methodology): “As we were interested in current patterns of species distribution along gradients in a restricted region, we used non- phylogenetic analyses (de Bello et al., 2015).”
• Do traits and phylogeny support congruent community diversity patterns and assembly inferences? (2019, background): “…Donoghue, 1995; Fitter, 1995; Harvey, Read, & Nee, 1995a, 1995b; Westoby, Leishman, & Lord, 1995), there are research questions that require phylogenetic corrections and there is ongoing dialogue about the need to control for relatedness in analyses of functional diversity (de Bello et al., 2015).”
