This course aims to introduce participants to metrics of functional 
trait diversity and related community-trait structure analyses, a key 
component of biodiversity that is increasingly important for 
understanding how biological communities respond to environmental change 
and the consequences for ecosystem functionality.

Instruction will combine lectures, hands-on computational exercises in 
R, and guided examples. Language of instruction: English.
