Including intraspecific trait variability to avoid distortion of functional diversity and ecological inference: Lessons from natural assemblages
Functional diversity assessments are crucial and increasingly used for understanding ecological processes and managing ecosystems. The functional diversity of a community is assessed by sampling traits at one or more scales (individuals, populations and species) and calculating a summary index of th...
