Species traits as drivers of food web structure (2018, methodology): “Animal traits have been increasingly used to assess community response to various disturbances (Moretti and Legg 2009, Aubin et al.”
Two roles for ecological surrogacy: Indicator surrogates and management surrogates (2016, background): “…species concept has many different refinements (e.g., 188 sentinel species, biomonitoring species, ecological-disturbance indicator species; Caro 2010) and 189 has been extended to include indicator taxa (e.g., lichens; Brunialti et al. 2009) and using species 190 traits (Moretti & Legg 2009).”
Functional traits as indicators of biodiversity response to land use changes across ecosystems and organisms (2010, background): “2009) and across trophical guilds trying to combine plants and animals (Moretti and Legg 2009).”
Unifying functional trait approaches to understand the assemblage of ecological communities: synthesizing taxonomic divides (2019, unknown): “2009, Moretti and Legg 2009, Vandewalle et al.”
Fire management for biodiversity conservation: Key research questions and our capacity to answer them (2010, background): “Even more promising, recent research demonstrates that fire responses in plants and invertebrates may be mediated by analogous traits, particularly those related to their ability to survive and recover after fire, andmobility (Moretti and Legg, 2009).”
Measuring and predicting the influence of traits on the assembly processes of wood‐inhabiting fungi (2017, background): “Functional traits determine the responses of individuals and species to biotic and abiotic variation (Gallagher, Hughes & Leishman 2013) and thus influence the ability of organisms to adapt to particular environmental characteristics (Moretti & Legg 2009).”
Moving beyond the guild concept: developing a practical functional trait framework for terrestrial beetles (2015, background): “There is also a recent trend towards using functional trait approaches across multiple trophic levels to elucidate broader trait and ecosystem relationships (Barbaro & van Halder, 2009; Moretti & Legg, 2009; de Bello et al., 2010; Rzanny & Voigt, 2012).”
