High functional responses predispose fish species to invasiveness, but these trophic advantages do not necessarily persist outside their native range. Congratulation to Marine and Chloé for this nice paper!

Just a quick intro:
Hi! I'm Amandine, a French-Costarican biologist living in Mexico. I did a postdoc on functional diversity of trees and climate change effects on Mexican forests. I'm interested in plants, insects, GIS, statistics mainly with R and writing. I plan to tooth mainly in English but occasionally also in Spanish or French #introductions #rstats #gis #biodiversity #FunctionalEcology #plants #insects #EcosistemServices #mexico #CostaRica

To improve the implementation and testing of trait-based theory, we clarify four mechanistic steps needed to scale from traits to ecosystems. These steps are based on core trait-based theory. Taken together, these steps explicitly detail the linkages between the environment, traits, communities, and ecosystem functioning #TraitBasedEcology #Traits #FunctionalEcology #Scaling #Ecosystem (3/n)
