Abstract excerpt
The use of functional information of taxa is a promising approach to uncover the underlying mechanism of ecosystem functioning.

Seventeen environmental variables from 42 stations of five coastal districts were assessed along the southeast coast of India. Dominant fauna was assigned into 20...
