PEER REVIEWED

Wong MKL, Guénard B & Lewis OT. 2018. Trait-based ecology of terrestrial arthropods. Biological Reviews. doi:10.1111/brv.12488. PDF 

"This is an excellent, timely and exhaustive review of terrestrial [arthropod] trait based ecology. It is extremely well written and logically put together." –Referee 1

"The paper is very well structured, well written and provides an excellent overview of trait-based ecology in terrestrial arthropods." –Referee 2

"I have been editing this journal for several years now and I am happy to report that I don’t recall having two referees’ reports that basically say that “this is a lovely manuscript and doesn’t need any revisions” – so congratulations on that." – Editor, Biological Reviews
