Understanding the processes shaping biological com-munities under multiple disturbances is a core challengein ecology and conservation science. Traditionally, ecol-ogists have explored linkages between the severity andtype of disturbance and the taxonomic structure ofcommunities. Recent advances in the application ofspecies traits, to assess the functional structure of com-munities, have provided an alternative approach thatresponds rapidly and consistently across taxa and eco-systems to multiple disturbances. Importantly, trait-based metrics may provide advanced warning of distur-bance to ecosystems because they do not need speciesloss to be reactive. Here, we synthesize empirical evi-dence and present a theoretical framework, based onspecies positions in a functional space, as a tool to revealthe complex nature of change in disturbed ecosystems.
Disturbance and biodiversity: why traits should matterDespite conservation efforts, biodiversity loss continuesapace at regional or global scales across a wide range ofecosystems, due to increasing intensity of disturbances(see Glossary), such as overexploitation of species [1],destruction of habitats [2], climate change [3], or invasionby alien species [4]. As a feedback, biodiversity erosion isimperiling the sustainability of ecological processes andthe provision of ecosystem services [5]. Thus, there is anurgent need to quantify and predict the effects of distur-bance on biodiversity patterns to guide conservation effortsand the management of ecological resources. Here, weconsider the term ‘disturbance’ in its widest sense asany event, natural or human-driven, that causes tempo-rary and localized shifts in species demographic rates. Weclassify disturbances in three categories as those caused by(i) direct human impacts; (ii) biotic pressure (mainly im-posed by exotic species); and (iii) environmental changes(abrupt shifts in abiotic conditions and habitat degrada-tion).
Until recently, the effect of disturbance on species di-versity was largely assumed to be unimodal, with speciesdiversity reaching its maximum at intermediate levels ofdisturbance [6]. The underlying mechanistic explanation
for this pattern is that competitive exclusion may reducespecies richness at low levels of disturbance, whereas highlevels of disturbance exclude all but the most disturbance-tolerant species. However, the unimodal model is far fromuniversal, having been falsified by observational [7],experimental [8], and theoretical studies [9]. Moreover,

Glossary
Disturbance: any event, natural or human driven, that causes temporary and
localized shifts in demographic rates.
Fourth-corner analysis: a method that quantifies the correlations between
species traits and abiotic variables in a fourth matrix using three input matrices
(R, abiotic variables; L, species presences and/or absences or abundances; and
Q, species traits).
Functional dissimilarity: the dissimilarity in the functional space occupied by
two communities.
Functional divergence: the proportion of total abundance supported by species
with the most extreme trait values within a community.
Functional diversity: the distribution of species and their abundances in the
functional space of a given community.
Functional evenness: the regularity of the distribution and relative abundance
of species in functional space for a given community.
Functional identity: the mean value of functional traits, weighted by
abundance, across all species present in a given community.
Functional originality: the isolation of a species in the functional space
occupied by a given community.
Functional richness: the volume of multidimensional space occupied by all

Linear trait-environment method (LTE): a method that linearly relates species
traits to abiotic variables using species abundances across environments.
Maximum Entropy model (MaxEnt): a predictive model assuming that the
relative abundance of a given species in a given environment is a function of its
trait values.
Monotonic relation: a relation is monotonic if a response or dependent
variable consistently increases (or decreases) or stays the same with every
increase in an associated predictive or independent variable.
Performance filter: the process by which local abiotic variables determine the
performance of a given trait, defined as its fitness, in a given environment.
RLQ analysis: a three-table (R, abiotic variables; L, species abundances; Q,
species traits) ordination method testing the relations between species traits
and abiotic variables.
Trait filtering: the process by which abiotic variables determine whether a
species has the requisite traits to colonize, establish, and persist in a given
environment.
Trait: any morphological, physiological, or phenological feature usually
measurable at the individual level.
Unimodal relation: a relation is unimodal if a response or dependent variable has
a single mode (or peak) along the axis of the predictive or independent variable.Corresponding author: Mouillot, D. (david.mouillot@univ-montp2.fr).

AbstractDespite growing attention on the influence of functional diversity changes on ecosystem functioning, a
palaeoecological perspective on the long-term dynamic of functional diversity, including mass extinction crises,
is still lacking. Here, using a novel multidimensional functional framework and comprehensive null-models, we
compare the functional structure of Cambrian, Silurian and modern benthic marine biotas. We demonstrate
that, after controlling for increases in taxonomic diversity, functional richness increased incrementally between
each time interval with benthic taxa filling progressively more functional space, combined with a significant
functional dissimilarity between periods. The modern benthic biota functionally overlaps with fossil biotas but
some modern taxa, especially large predators, have new trait combinations that may allow more functions to be
performed. From a methodological perspective, these results illustrate the benefits of using multidimensional
instead of lower dimensional functional frameworks when studying changes in functional diversity over space
and time.

INTRODUCTION
All ecosystems on Earth are currently affected by human activities
(Vitousek et al. 1997) and one of the major components of this global
change is the accelerated loss of biodiversity (Vitousek et al. 1997).
Although biodiversity is a multifaceted concept that ranges from
genetic diversity inside a population to the variety of landscapes in
ecosystems, most studies have focused only on species richness
(Purvis & Hector 2000). Besides its intrinsic value, biodiversity
provides essential ecosystem services to human populations through
genetic resources, food production and nutrient-cycle regulation
(Costanza et al. 1997). In this context, there is a growing consensus
that the functional diversity of communities (i.e. diversity of species
traits, Petchey & Gaston 2006) is more informative than taxonomic
richness per se in explaining the structure and function of ecological
communities (McGill et al. 2006; Mokany et al. 2008). For instance,
within marine communities, there is evidence that functional diversity
of benthic communities drives important ecosystem processes (Solan
et al. 2004).
Like taxonomic diversity, functional diversity can be measured
within local communities (i.e. alpha-diversity) or among communities
(i.e. beta-diversity). The former component quantifies the functional
richness of the traits present in the community whereas the latter
corresponds to the dissimilarity of functional composition between
two or more communities. Several studies have focused on temporal
dynamics of functional richness for several taxa (Flynn et al. 2009;
Villeger et al. 2010) but there is to date no study assessing functional
dissimilarity trends because of a lack of a practical framework.
Therefore, in the global change context, it is urgent to develop a
general framework that allows assessing how changes in taxonomic
diversity affect functional diversity, for both its alpha and beta
components (Devictor et al. 2010).
Marine ecosystems, which are among the world�s most productive
and diverse (Costanza et al. 1997) and are facing unprecedented levels
of human pressure today (Halpern et al. 2008), have been subject to
both fundamental evolutionary diversifications as well as dramatic
extinction crises (Erwin 2008). Such events modified – sometimes
irreversibly – the biota, environments, and geochemical fluxes in
marine ecosystems (Alroy 2010). For instance, the Late Cretaceous
mass extinction (Schulte et al. 2010), which caused the demise of more
than 60% of all animal taxa, altered biogeochemical processes for
millions of years afterwards (D�Hondt 2005) and its biogeographic
impact persists today in the marine biota (Krug et al. 2009). Much of
our knowledge of such transitions is based on the well-preserved
marine invertebrate fossil record (Foote & Sepkoski 1999), and
especially that from the benthic shelf habitat (Alroy et al. 2008). There
has been substantial progress in understanding how biological traits
of marine organisms contributed to these evolutionary transitions.
For example, victims of the Late Permian mass extinction were
disproportionately immobile and physiologically �unbuffered� (Bam-
bach et al. 2002), whereas no such selectivity existed during the Late-
Cretaceous mass extinction (Jablonski & Raup 1995), at least among
benthic invertebrates (Friedman 2009). Such approaches have been
generalized to focus on multiple traits simultaneously across entire

Compétition?
Les populations de deux espèces ayant des exigences écologiques identiques, c'est-à-dire exploitant une ressource limitante unique, ne peuvent coexister indéfiniment dans un milieu stable et homogène, la plus compétitive des deux espèces finissant à plus ou moins long terme par éliminer l'autre.

Principe de GAUSE (1934) en écologie des communautés
(2003)(2004)
Principes de base : �
1. Les ressources florales ne sont JAMAIS illimitées localement, et on observe un recouvrement des ressources utilisées par
les abeilles sauvages et domestiques��
ET��
2. Chaque ruche d’A. mellifera contient jusqu’à 30.000 individus actifs en permanence qui doivent accumuler des grandes quantités de nectar et surtout de pollen pour assurer le développement de la colonie��
ET��
3. Aucune goutte de nectar, aucun grain de pollen ne peut être récolté 2x
En règle générale, les petits bourdons veillent au maintien de la colonie, alors que les plus gros récoltent du pollen et du nectar en dehors de la colonie.
Les petits bourdons ne quittent la colonie pour récolter à leur tour que lorsque les ressources deviennent moins importantes dans l’environnement

L’introduction de colonies d’Apis mellifera africanisées modifie les ressources alimentaires exploitées par les abeilles sauvages comme les Centris (72 spp.) et les mégachiles (28 spp.)
Le maintien des populations d’abeilles sauvages dépend donc de leur capacité à exploiter des ressources alimentaires alternatives lorsque la compétition locale avec Apis mellifera augmente de façon significative
