Functional richness, currently defined as the amount of niche space occupied by the species
within a community, is one of the three major components of functional diversity. Different …

Plants produce a great number of phytochemicals serving a variety of different functions.
Recently, the chemodiversity of these compounds (ie, the diversity of compounds produced …

Agricultural intensification is a leading cause of global biodiversity loss, which can reduce
the provisioning of ecosystem services in managed ecosystems. Organic farming and plant …

Anticipating future changes of an ecosystem's dynamics requires knowledge of how its key
communities respond to current environmental regimes. The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is …

Mangroves are located at the land-sea interface and are therefore confronted with human
settlement in the coastal areas and associated pressures and uses. This unique habitat …

The impact of the variation of the number of functional traits on functional diversity
assessment is still poorly known. Although the covariation between these two parameters …

We evaluated a unique model in which four full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs)
with the same treatment schematic and fed with similar influent wastewater were tracked …

Mauritania is characterized by fast-growing fisheries that have developed over the past
several decades from low levels of fishing to intense fishing and have led to severe …

Functional diversity (FD) metrics quantify the trait diversity in biological assemblages and act
as a proxy for the diverse ecological functions performed in the community. Analyses of FD …

This study evaluated the impact of Cichla spp. on the functional diversity of small fishes in
floodplain lakes from 2002 to 2019, Brazil. Using multivariate regression, we analyzed how …
