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...

Disentangling the pathways of land use impacts on the functional structure of f...
Leitão, Rafael Pereira; Zuanon, Jansen; Mouillot, David; Leal, Cecília Gontijo; Hughes, Robert Mason; Kaufmann, Philip Robert; Vill?ger, S?bastienAgricultural land use is a primary driver of environmental impacts on streams. However, the causal processes that shape these impacts operate through multiple pathways and at several spatial scales. This complexity undermines the development of more effective management approaches, and illustrates the need for more in-depth studies to assess the mechanisms that determine changes in stream biodiversity. Here we ...
Rare species contribute disproportionately to the functional structure of speci...
Leitão, Rafael Pereira; Zuanon, Jansen; Vill?ger, S?bastien; Williams, Stephen E.; Baraloto, Christopher; Fortunel, Claire; Mendonça, Fernando PereiraThere is broad consensus that the diversity of functional traits within species assemblages drives several ecological processes. It is also widely recognized that rare species are the first to become extinct following human-induced disturbances. Surprisingly, however, the functional importance of rare species is still poorly understood, particularly in tropical species-rich assemblages where the majority of spe...
