Functional diversity: a review of methodology and current knowledge in freshwater macroinvertebrate research (2016, background): “We do not have any objection against this, but researchers should keep in mind the dual meaning, and clearly separate concept from measure and recall that some measures have been shown to perform better than others in terms of biodiversity–ecosystem function relationship (Flynn et al., 2011).”
A functional trait-based approach to understand community assembly and diversity-productivity relationships over 7 years in experimental grasslands (2013, background): “Recent studies in experimental plant communities have shown that functional trait diversity promotes primary productivity (Petchey et al., 2004; Cadotte et al., 2009; Flynn et al., 2011; Mouillot et al., 2011).”
Impacts of Biodiversity Loss Escalate Through Time as Redundancy Fades (2012, background): “and biomass production, and much prior research at this and other sites have found these traits to be good predictors of functions associated with aboveground productivity (37, 38).”
Land use intensification alters ecosystem multifunctionality via loss of biodiversity and changes to functional composition (2015, methodology): “These data were used to generate a compound, continuous index of LUI, by summing the standardised components (F + M + G), see (Bl € uthgen et al. 2012) and Supporting information.”
Evolutionary history and underlying adaptation of alpine plants on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (2014, background): “The community stability and biomass production rely not only on interindividual and interspecific interactions, but also on phylogenetic distances of the composed species (Cadotte et al., 2008; Flynn et al., 2011).”
Beyond species: functional diversity and the maintenance of ecological processes and services (2011, background): “Nonetheless, when data for several traits are available, model selection methods can clarify the relative contribution of each trait to overyielding (e.g. Cadotte et al. 2009; Flynn et al. 2011).”
Management by proxy?:the use of indices in applied ecology (2015, background): “Specifically, the extent to which track counts reflect true abundance is a key concern about studies of the ecological impacts of the dingo Canis lupus dingo (Hayward & Marlow 2014).”
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning (2014, background): “Functional trait or phylogenetic distance indices can also be strong correlates of responses (Cadotte et al. 2008, Flynn et al. 2011).”
Functional identity and diversity of animals predict ecosystem functioning better than species-based indices (2015, background): “Several new avenues have been proposed to better quantify functional diversity and increase 417 the predictive power of biodiversity-functioning relationships: taking into account single and multi418 trait indices simultaneously, phylogenetic diversity [56], within-species trait variability [57], ab”
Microbially Mediated Plant Functional Traits (2011, background): “…functional traits may not capture all relevant information about a community, as a recent study found that phylogenetic diversity explained variation in the relationship between plant communities and ecosystem function that functional trait variation was not able to explain (Flynn et al., 2011).”
Plant apparency, an overlooked driver of associational resistance to insect herbivory (2013, background): “However, despite the covariance of functional and phylogenetic diversities, these two factors may have different effects on ecosystem functions, such as productivity (Flynn et al. 2011) and herbivory (Pearse & Hipp 2009).”
