PREPRINTS Wong MKL, Guénard B & Lewis OT. (In review). The cryptic impacts of invasion: Functional homogenization of tropical ant communities by invasive fire ants. bioRxiv doi:10.1101/611749 PEER REVIEWED (9) Wong MKL, Guénard B & Lewis OT. 2019. Trait-based ecology of terrestrial arthropods. Biological Reviews 94: 999–1022. PDF "This is an excellent, timely and exhaustive review of terrestrial arthropod trait based ecology. It is extremely well written and logically put together... The paper defined trait and trait-based ecology, demonstrated why trait-based ecology is relevant for arthropod research and where it has been applied, discussed its assumptions, empirical limitations and the future of the field, as established in its goals... The work has inspired multiple ideas for me to pursue in future – surely the sign of an excellent review... A must read for terrestrial invertebrate ecologists. Well done!" –Referees 1 & 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 (8) Wong MKL, Woodman JD & Rowell DM. 2017.
