Functional rarity of coral reef fishes at the global scale: Hotspots and challenges for conservation
2018, Biological ConservationCitation Excerpt :Functional rarity is an appealing concept to study both applied and theoretical ecology but its computation must be handled with care. The significance of functional rarity critically depends on the traits and the spatial scale (Violle et al., 2017a). We selected functional traits representing key ecological strategies of coral reef fishes (Mouillot et al., 2014; see Appendix B1 for trait-function details).
