An attribute‐diversity approach to functional diversity, functional beta diversity, and related (dis)similarity measures [PDF]

Ecological Monographs, 2019
AbstractBased on the framework of attribute diversity (a generalization of Hill numbers of order q), we develop a class of functional diversity measures sensitive not only to species abundances but also to trait‐based species‐pairwise functional distances.

Bacterial genome size and gene functional diversity negatively correlate with taxonomic diversity along a pH gradient

Nature Communications, 2023
Bacterial gene repertoires reflect adaptive strategies, contribute to ecosystem functioning and are limited by genome size. However, gene functional diversity does not necessarily correlate with taxonomic diversity because average genome size may vary by

fundiversity: a modular R package to compute functional diversity indices

Ecography, 2023
(max 350 words) 1. Functional diversity is widely used and widespread. However, the main packages used to compute 5 functional diversity indices are not flexible and not adapted to the volume of data used in modern ecological analyses.

Functional Diversity of Soil Nematodes in Relation to the Impact of Agriculture—A Review

Diversity, 2021
The analysis of the functional diversity of soil nematodes requires detailed knowledge on theoretical aspects of the biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationship in natural and managed terrestrial ecosystems.

Measuring temporal change in alpha diversity: A framework integrating taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity and the iNEXT.3D standardization

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Biodiversity is a multifaceted concept covering different levels of organization from genes to ecosystems. Biodiversity has at least three dimensions: (a) Taxonomic diversity (TD): a measure that is sensitive to the number and abundances of species.

Erosion of global functional diversity across the tree of life

Science Advances, 2021
Among plants and vertebrates, extinction risk is universally higher for the largest species with slower paces of life. Although one-quarter of plant and vertebrate species are threatened with extinction, little is known about the potential effect of ...

Extinction of threatened vertebrates will lead to idiosyncratic changes in functional diversity across the world

Nature Communications, 2021
Although species with larger body size and slow pace of life have a higher risk of extinction at a global scale, it is unclear whether this global trend will be consistent across biogeographic realms.

Which Seed Properties Determine the Preferences of Carabid Beetle Seed Predators?

Insects, 2020
Ground beetles are important invertebrate seed predators in temperate agro-ecosystems. However, there is a lack of information regarding which seed properties are important to carabids when they select seeds for consumption.

A protocol for reproducible functional diversity analyses

Ecography, 2021
The widespread use of species traits to infer community assembly mechanisms or to link species to ecosystem functions has led to an exponential increase in functionaldiversity analyses, with >10,000 papers published in 2010–2019, and >1,500 papers only ...
