Macroinvertebrate community structure and biological traits related to flow permanence in a Mediterranean river network (2007, background): “aquatic ecosystems and has shown matches and mismatches between habitat characteristics and the biological traits of organisms (e.g., Statzner et al., 1994; Ribera et al., 2001; Thuiller et al., 2004).”
Taxonomic and biological trait differences of stream macroinvertebrate communities between mediterranean and temperate regions: implications for future climatic scenarios (2007, background): “Differences in morphological, behavioural, and physiological traits of individual species are, thus, common along climatic gradients (Chapin & Chapin, 1981; Murray et al., 2004; Thuiller et al., 2004 ) (i.e.”
WHAT MATTERS FOR PREDICTING THE OCCURRENCES OF TREES: TECHNIQUES, DATA, OR SPECIES' CHARACTERISTICS? (2007, background): “…performance may also be influenced by species’ intrinsic ecological characteristics, such as commonness (Karl et al. 2002, Kadmon et al. 2003), range size (Schwartz et al. 2006), niche width, and niche position (Boone and Krohn 2002, Kadmon et al. 2003, Thuiller et al. 2004, Hernandez et al. 2006).”
Assessing species and community functional responses to environmental gradients: which multivariate methods? (2012, background): “…the species′ view is relevant for the (1) functional comparison of biogeographic distributions, regardless of their affiliation to communities (Thuiller et al. 2004), and (2) when phylogenetic constraints on trait–environment relationships are to be analysed (see Table 1; Lord et al. 1995).”
Intraspecific functional variability: extent, structure and sources of variation (2010, background): “Contrasts between species’ trait values have been largely investigated in terms of response of functional traits to gradients or trait trade-offs (Reich et al. 2003; Diaz et al. 2004; Thuiller et al. 2004; Wright et al. 2005).”
Contrasting functional traits maintain lichen epiphyte diversity in response to climate and autogenic succession (2006, background): “Recent research has confirmed that species co-existence, and, consequently, diversity measured at a given scale, may be dependent on the different functional traits of individual species (McKane et al., 2002; Cavender-Bares et al., 2004; Thuiller et al., 2004).”
Novel methods improve prediction of species' distributions from occurrence data (2006, unknown): “…that emerged is that species judged to be specialists by the distribution of records in environmental or geographic space tended to have higher AUC scores than generalists, an effect also observed elsewhere (Guisan and Hofer 2003, Segurado and Araújo 2004, Thuiller et al. 2004, Luoto et al. 2005).”
Niche properties of Central European spiders : shading, moisture and the evolution of the habitat niche (2007, background): “First, our results have implications for the evolution of the niche: species that have their optima at the extreme ends of an environmental gradient have narrow realized niches (Fig. 4). Thuiller et al . (2004) found a similar pattern in three bioclimatic gradients for 88 Leucadendron taxa, evergr”
Uncovering multiscale effects of aridity and biotic interactions on the functional structure of Mediterranean shrublands (2013, background): “3, Díaz, Cabido & Casanoves 1998; Thuiller et al. 2004).”
A multi‐trait approach reveals the structure and the relative importance of intra‐ vs. interspecific variability in plant traits (2010, background): “Functional traits and strategies have been investigated extensively during recent decades to understand plant adapta- tions through the study of trait–gradient (Thuiller et al. 2004; Wright et al. 2005) or trait–trait (Reich et al. 1999; Fonseca et al. 2000; Diaz et al. 2004) relationships.”
