Functional traits reveal the presence and nature of multiple processes in the assembly of marine fish communities.

Oecologia - 1 Jan 2020

Ford Benjamin M, Roberts J Dale

Abstract excerpt

Functional traits can be used to identify the importance of various community assembly mechanisms such as ecological drift, environmental filtering, and limiting similarity. These processes act in concert, not isolation, and different processes may act upon separate traits, potentially concealing the ecological signal of one or more of the mechanisms. Nine functional attributes of marine fish were used to...
