Functional diversity in fish assemblages of the Tropical Eastern Pacific Ocean: A review of two decades of progress in the functional diversity approach

Abstract: Background. One of the most relevant topics in ecology and evolution is understanding the relationship between biological and functional diversity at the ecosystem level; both important in the evolutionary processes and the structuring of complex communities. Goals. In this essay, the explanatory hypotheses focused on global patterns of the distribution of species are described along with selected hypotheses relating species richness/biodiversity to ecosystem function, and the differentiation of the terms guil… Show more

“…The range and types of functional traits used enable resource managers to address several ecological and management issues (Villeǵer et al, 2017), yielding successful results across various habitats and taxa (Brandl and Bellwood, 2014;Mouillot et al, 2014;Ramıŕez-Ortiz et al, 2017;Rincoń-Dıáz et al, 2018;Palacios-Salgado et al, 2019;Teittinen and Virta, 2021). Studies of the functional structure of fish communities can detect small changes in the community structure, which makes them a good tool for conservation (Freitas and Mantovani, 2018) and can complement traditional descriptors in biogeographical studies to assess ecosystem health, resilience, and responses to environmental disturbance more robustly (Tilman et al, 1997;Bellwood et al, 2004;Cadotte et al, 2011;Mouillot et al, 2011).…”

“…Most previous studies on the effects of damming have considered fish taxonomic diversity (e.g., species richness) due to its simplicity and convenience; however, effective estimation and conservation efforts require a deeper understanding of other facets of fish diversity, such as functional and phylogenetic diversity (Wong et al, 2018;Su et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2021). Functional diversity quantifies the ranges of unique morphological, physiological, and ecological traits of fish community (Palacios-Salgado et al, 2019); phylogenetic diversity reflects the genetic variability within fish assemblage, which can influence the community's adaptability in response to environmental variations (Lima-Junior et al, 2021). Previous studies revealed that one fish assemblage can exhibit similar variation patterns of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversities in response to environmental changes (e.g., Tuya et al, 2018), while further studies suggest that multiple approaches can furnish complementary information (e.g., Wong et al, 2018;Roa-Fuentes et al, 2019;Jiang et al, 2021).…”
