Seasonal variations alter the impact of functional traits on plankton dynamics.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Rocha Marcia R, Vasseur David A, Gaedke Ursula

Abstract excerpt

Gaining understanding of food-web processes often requires a simplified representation of natural diversity. One such simplification can be based on functional traits, as functionally similar species may provide a similar contribution to ecosystem level-processes. However, understanding how similarity in functional traits actually translates into similar contributions to ecosystem-level properties remains a...
