Functional classifications and their application in phytoplankton ecology
Ecologists often group organisms based on similar biological traits or on taxonomic criteria.
However, the use of taxonomy in ecology has many drawbacks because taxa may include …

Morpho-functional groups and phytoplankton development in two deep lakes (Lake Garda, Italy and Lake Stechlin, Germany)
Phylogenetic classifications of plants often do not reflect their ecological functions. In fact,
the functional mechanisms of biological communities may be better understood if species …
