The 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...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-10-01; Traits define how organisms interact with their surrounding environment and with other organisms. Thus, trait composition of biological communities is expected to change predictably along environmental gradients. Because organisms’ traits, but not taxonomic identity, determine their fitness, trait-envir...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-05-01; Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP); The assumption that traits and phylogenies can be used as proxies of species niche has faced criticisms. Evidence suggested that phylogenic relatedness is a weak proxy of trait similarity. Moreover, different processes can select different t...
