Landscape configuration, organic management, and within‐field position drive functional diversity of spiders and carabids (2018, background): “…than alpha diversity indices, such as species richness (Gallé, Gallé- Szpisjak, & Torma, 2017; Rusch et al., 2015; Schirmel et al., 2016), and provide an insight into community–environment interactions and their effect on ecosystem functioning (e.g., Laliberte et al., 2010; Rusch et al., 2016).”
Resilience in ecology: Abstraction, distraction, or where the action is? (2014, background): “Increasingly, trait-based approaches are recognised for improving our understanding of ecosystem dynamics because they offer a more mechanistic understanding of ecosystems than stand-alone patterns of species diversity (Lavorel and Garnier, 2002; Suding et al., 2008).”
Rare microbial taxa as the major drivers of ecosystem multifunctionality in long-term fertilized soils (2020, background): “could potentially buffer some of the negative effects of agricultural practices, such as physical disturbance on microbial composition and reduction in functional redundancy (Laliberte et al., 2010), by adding not only nutrients but also microorganisms into soils.”
Functional attributes change but functional richness is unchanged after fragmentation of Brazilian Atlantic forests (2014, background): “This means that there is a degree of resilience for key ecosystem functions in large fragments, since there is likely to be a functionally equivalent species in the tree community if another is lost (Laliberté et al. 2010).”
Landscape moderation of biodiversity patterns and processes ‐ eight hypotheses (2012, background): “…in determining individual species’ performances, but it has been more challenging to demonstrate that local richness saturates due to factors such as resource competition or predation, constraining species coexistence (e.g. Ward, 2006; Lamb & Cahill, 2008; but see Crawley, 1997; Schmitz, 2008).”
Traits Without Borders: Integrating Functional Diversity Across Scales. (2016, background): “Most attempts to quantify functional redundancy use a functional group approach [7,88], involving subjective decisions, such as the number of groups to consider and the classification of species into groups.”
The winners and losers of land use intensification: pollinator community disassembly is non‐random and alters functional diversity (2014, positive): “Irrespective of this knowledge gap, the losses of particular functional groups will likely reduce the insurance value provided by functionally-dissimilar communities (Loreau et al., 2001; Bartomeus et al., 2013a), as resilience is conferred to diverse assemblages by the provision of a range of ecolo”
