Obsah

Content of lectures:(1) Functional traits, and differences between response and effect traits: theory behind their definition and their use(2) Functional traits as adaptations to abiotic and biotic conditions:- Species niches and biotic interactions: the importance of functional traits- Functional diversity and redundancy- Community assembly: trait divergence and convergence;(3) Functional trade-offs and the link with existing functional classification schemes (r-K continuum, CSR-Grime, LHS)(4) Standardized trait measurements and classification schemes across trophic levels- what to measure and how- the importance of trait plasticity- existing trait databases in internet(5) Response and effect traits revisited:- traits at the interface between environmental change and ecosystem processes- the use of traits in bioindication- traits as indicators of ecosystem services; functional vs taxonomic diversity(6) Phylogenetic signals in traits and their ecological implicationsContent of practicals:(1) Analysis of trait information (species vs. community analyses and type of traits)(2) Functional diversity: from field measurments to the calculation of different indices(3) Group discussion on the differences between CSR (Grime) and LHS (Westoby) classification schemes.
