Jeliazkov, Alienor; Mijatovic, Darko; Chantepie, Stéphane; Andrew, Nigel; Arlettaz, Raphaël; Barbaro, Luc; Barsoum, Nadia; Bartonova, AlenaThe use of functional information in the form of species traits plays an important role in explaining biodiversity patterns and responses to environmental changes. Although relationships between species composition, their traits, and the environment have been extensively studied on a case-by-case basis, results are variable, and it remains unclear how generalizable these relationships are across ecosystems, tax...

Influence of data pre-processing on the behavior of spatial indicators
Rufino, MM; Bez, Nicolas; Brind'Amour, AnikSpatial indicators are widely used to quantify the impact of climate and anthropogenic changes on species spatial distribution. These metrics are thus, determinant to decisions on the conservation measures to be implemented. In the current work, the effect of two common pre-processing methods: gridding and continuous interpolation, on the values given by five spatial indicators: index of aggregation, percentage...
Seasonality in coastal macrobenthic biomass and its implications for estimating...
Saulnier, Erwan; Brind'Amour, Anik; Tableau, Adrien; Rufino, Marta M.; Dauvin, Jean‐Claude; Luczak, Christophe; Le Bris, HervéMacrobenthic secondary production is widely used to assess the trophic capacity, health, and functioning of marine and freshwater ecosystems. Annual production estimates are often calculated using empirical models and based on data collected during a single period of the year. Yet, many ecosystems show seasonal variations. Although ignoring seasonality may lead to biased and inaccurate estimates of annual secon...
