All Traits Are Functional: An Evolutionary Viewpoint.

Mar Sobral1.   

Abstract

There is increasing confusion regarding the term 'functional trait' and its links with ecosystem functioning. Functional traits are defined as traits that affect individual fitness. I use an evolutionary rationale that considers the integration of the phenotype, the environmental variation, and the relationship between both, to propose that all traits are functional.
