Measuring biodiversity to explain community assembly: a unified approach
S Pavoine, MB Bonsall - Biological Reviews, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
One of the oldest challenges in ecology is to understand the processes that underpin the
composition of communities. Historically, an obvious way in which to describe community …

Linking patterns in phylogeny, traits, abiotic variables and space: a novel approach to linking environmental filtering and plant community assembly
We introduce a novel method that analyses environmental filtering of plant species in a
geographic and phylogenetic context. By connecting species traits with phylogeny, traits with …

Habitat degradation increases functional originality in highly diverse coral reef fish assemblages
As anthropogenic and natural disturbances intensify, there is mounting concern about the
loss of functionally important or unique species. Functional redundancy, or the presence of …

Hydrology shapes taxonomic and functional structure of desert stream invertebrate communities
Hydrology is a fundamental factor influencing ecosystem dynamics, life-history strategies,
and diversity patterns in running-water habitats. However, it remains unclear how hydrology …
