I'm working on the functional diversity of zooplankton. I feel it's not accurate because results depend on the traits we choose,which can be subjective. I wonder if there’s an issue with functional diversity, or am I just at the beginning and haven’t grasped it yet? #Zooplankton #FunctionalDiversity
