How many dimensions are needed to accurately assess functional diversity? A pragmatic approach for assessing the quality of functional spaces (2015, background): “…of functions performed by species in an assemblage (Petchey & Gaston, 2006), is closely related to the rates of ecosystems processes (Mouillot et al., 2011; Naeem et al., 2012) and is shaped by environmental conditions and anthropogenic disturbances (Flynn et al., 2009; Villéger et al., 2010).”
Addressing future trade-offs between biodiversity and cropland expansion to improve food security (2016, background): “Land-use intensification has been variously shown to negatively impact local biodiversity in many regions of the world (Flynn et al. 2009; Newbold et al. 2015).”
Response diversity determines the resilience of ecosystems to environmental change (2013, background): “However, the incongruity of change pattern between species richness and functional diversity may potentially have significant implications for ecosystem functioning (Flynn et al., 2009; Sasaki et al., 2009b).”
Global patterns of agricultural land‐use intensity and vertebrate diversity (2015, background): “, 2010), including negative effects on species richness (Herzon et al., 2008; Flynn et al., 2009),”
Effects of grazing abandonment on functional and taxonomic diversity of Mediterranean grasslands (2012, background): “, 2011), although in recent years, there has been a roliferation of the focus on functional diversity (Díaz et al., 2007a; lynn et al., 2009; Laliberté et al., 2010; Tscharntke et al., 2008).”
Weed-insect pollinator networks as bio-indicators of ecological sustainability in agriculture. A review (2016, background): “cline of landscape diversity and a loss of biodiversity observed in many taxa, especially for insects and plants (Sotherton 1998; Chamberlain et al. 2000; Benton et al. 2002; Kleijn and Sutherland 2003; Thomas et al. 2004; Tscharntke et al. 2005; Flynn et al. 2009; Brückmann et al. 2010).”
Using plant functional traits to explain community composition across a strong environmental filter in Australian alpine snowpatches (2011, background): “As such, measures of functional diversity (and their shifts) can be used to determine community responses to current and future environmental filters (Dı́az and Cabido 2001), as well as land-use intensification (Flynn et al. 2009; Mayfield et al. 2010) and disturbance regimes (Ernst et al. 2006).”
Functional landscape heterogeneity and animal biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. (2011, methodology): “The method can be used to group species based on pre-defined criteria (e.g. Flynn et al. 2009) and it could also be used to map functional cover types in landscapes based on the resource requirements of species groups (Fig.”
Contrasting taxonomic and functional responses of a tropical tree community to selective logging (2012, background): “…that the decreases in func- tional diversity observed following disturbance imply signifi- cant risks to the provisioning of ecosystem services, even when no corresponding decrease in taxonomic diversity was observed (Ernst, Linsenmair & Rodel 2006; Flynn et al. 2009; Villéger et al. 2010).”
Impacts of agricultural intensification on bird communities: New insights from a multi-level and multi-facet approach of biodiversity (2016, background): “At the local scale, land use intensification relates to the intensity of agricultural practices (Flynn et al., 2009), while at the landscape scale, it is strongly related to agriculture expansion (Tscharntke et al., 2005).”
