Individual-level trait diversity predicts phytoplankton community properties better than species richness or evenness.

The ISME journal - 1 Feb 2018

Abstract excerpt

Understanding how microbial diversity influences ecosystem properties is of paramount importance. Cellular traits-which determine responses to the abiotic and biotic environment-may help us rigorously link them. However, our capacity to measure traits in natural communities has thus far been limited. Here we compared the predictive power of trait richness (trait space coverage), evenness (regularity in trait...
