Analyzing community-weighted trait means across environmental gradients: should phylogeny stay or should it go?

Ecology - 1 Feb 2018

Duarte Leandro D S, Debastiani Vanderlei J, Carlucci Marcos B, Diniz-Filho José Alexandre F

Abstract excerpt

Functional traits mediate ecological responses of organisms to the environment, determining community structure. Community-weighted trait means (CWM) are often used to characterize communities by combining information on species traits and distribution. Relating CWM variation to environmental gradients allows for evaluating species sorting across the metacommunity, either based on correlation tests or ordinary...
