Aquatic Functional Biodiversity: An Ecological and Evolutionary
Perspective provides a general conceptual framework by some of the
most prominent investigators in the field for how to link
eco-evolutionary approaches with functional diversity to understand
and conserve the provisioning of ecosystem services in aquatic
systems. Rather than producing another methodological book, the
editors and authors primarily concentrate on defining common
grounds, connecting conceptual frameworks and providing examples by
a more detailed discussion of a few empirical studies and projects,
which illustrate key ideas and an outline of potential future
directions and challenges that are expected in this
interdisciplinary research field. Recent years have seen an
explosion of interest in using network approaches to disentangle
the relationship between biodiversity, community structure and
functioning. Novel methods for model construction are being
developed constantly, and modern methods allow for the inclusion of
almost any type of explanatory variable that can be correlated
either with biodiversity or ecosystem functioning. As a result
these models have been widely used in ecology, conservation and
eco-evolutionary biology. Nevertheless, there remains a
considerable gap on how well these approaches are feasible to
understand the mechanisms on how biodiversity constrains the
provisioning of ecosystem services.
