| Popis | Functional traits and phylogeny offer different, but ideally complementary, information about ecological differences between species, an essential step to uncover biodiversity assembly mechanisms and their feedbacks to ecosystem functions. However, traits and phylogeny are often related due to underlying trait evolution. Consequently, when combined, their overlapping information can be overemphasized, hindering their complementarity. It is therefore desirable to decouple their unique and overlapping contributions. |
