Rare Species Support Vulnerable Functions in High-Diversity Ecosystems (2013, background): “In practice, this assumption needs to consider multiple functional traits to embrace the range of potential roles that species may play [26].”
Hierarchical effects of environmental filters on the functional structure of plant communities: a case study in the French Alps (2013, background): “Overall, the lack of strong positive relationships between species diversity and functional diversity, which has been reported (Cadotte 2011), indicate that niche differentiation does not necessarily maximize species diversity in all types of single-trait and multi-trait measurements), indicating…”
Response diversity determines the resilience of ecosystems to environmental change (2013, background): “Therefore, although most previous studies have focused on species richness, it is often more important to describe biodiversity based on functional characteristics (Díaz et al., 2007, 2011; Cadotte, 2011).”
Species contribute differently to the taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic alpha and beta diversity of freshwater fish communities (2014, background): “the evolutionary relationships among species) can identify a community’s ability to generate new evolutionary solutions as environmental conditions change in the future (Faith, 1992) and can account for unmeasured FD (Cadotte, 2011).”
