Functional diversity metrics using kernel density n-dimensional hypervolumes (2020, methodology): “…three type of dispersal (1= non- or sporadic ballooners; 2= ballooners at juvenile stages only; 3= ballooners at all life stages) were assigned by Piano et al. (2020) based on multiple literature sources (Bell, Bohan, Shaw, & Weyman, 2005; Blandenier, 2009; Simonneau, Courtial, & Pétillon, 2016).”
Landscape configuration, organic management, and within‐field position drive functional diversity of spiders and carabids (2018, methodology): “Finally, we classified spider species as either frequently ballooning (code: 1), rarely ballooning (code 0.5) or nonballooning species (code: 0; Blandenier, 2009) and carabid species wing system as macropterous (fully developed wings, code: 1), dimorph (either with developed or with reduced wings,…”
