Nuanced qualitative trait approaches reveal environmental filtering and phylogenetic constraints on lichen communities
Abstract We propose that a qualitative trait approach based on more detailed nuanced traits may reveal previously overlooked patterns, especially when combined with phylogenetic perspectives. By sampling epiphytic lichens and using a functional approach based on nuanced qualitative traits, such as a...
