...Given that many key functional aspects of ecosystems closely depend on biotic interactions, their loss may have pervasive effects accelerating species local extinction and decay of ecosystem functions, ultimately collapsing the derived services provided to humans (D ıaz et al. 2013)....

...We define traits broadly to encompass the physiological, morphological, or behavioral characteristics of a microorganism, without regard to whether they can be deconstructed into simpler traits (22, 23)....

...Often, however, it is useful to consider a taxon’s response to the environment as a trait itself (22, 48), rather than the conglomerate of traits underlying the response (49)....

...2008): if SEFs and SRFs are generated by different suites of traits that have been evolving separately, phylogenetic correlations between them are likely to be weak, although nonphylogenetic correlations could still often be strong because of the similarity of close relatives (Felsenstein 1985)....

...We also estimated the strength of the phylogenetic signal in the SEF or species realized effect, effect traits, and SRF, using Pagel’s k statistic (which ranges from 0 for phylogenetic randomness to 1 for strong signal; Pagel 1999; Freckleton et al. 2002) to quantify signal strength for continuous variables, and Fritz and Purvis’s (2010) D (here, expressed as 1 D to put it on the same scale because D is a measure of phylogenetic dispersion rather than concentration) for binary variables....

...The other is the risk of local or even global loss of species whose tolerance is surpassed (Butchart et al. 2010; Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity 2010; Larigauderie et al. 2012), and the associated reduction in evolutionary capital — the ability of evolutionary processes to…...
