contents Trait networks: Assessing marine community resilience and extinction recovery. Clay, Charlotte G Dunhill, Alexander M Reimer, James D Beger, Maria Extensive global habitat degradation and the climate crisis are tipping the biosphere toward a "sixth" mass extinction and marine communities will not be spared from this catastrophic loss of biodiversity. The resilience of marine communities following large-scale disturbances or extinction events is mediated by the life-history traits of species and their interplay within communities. The presence and abundance of traits in communities provide proxies of function, but whether the breakdown of their associations with species loss can delineate functional loss remains unclear. Here, we propose that relationships between traits within trait networks provide unique perspectives on the importance of specific traits, trait combinations, and their role in supporting the stability of communities, while exploring the vulnerability of both past deep time and present-day marine communities.
