“…In the Tramandaí River Basin three of the lakes studied have brackish waters (strictly coastal lagoons), despite the fact that these lakes are highly interconnected with other lakes. Azevedo et al (2017) also found a higher functional diversity in coastal lagoons compared to bays or beaches (a consequence of the salinity gradient) on the Southeastern coast of Brazil. However, it is important to note that in their study the lagoons evaluated were not interconnected.…”

“…These lakes are influenced by both marine and continental processes and were subjected to events of sea retraction and expansion, which connected and disconnected lakes during their formation (Schwarzbold and Schäfer 1984). Azevedo et al (2017) compared distinct types of coastal ecosystems in Southeast Brazil and observed that coastal lakes supported more functionally distinctive fish assemblages than beaches and bays. In highly connected lakes, communities may become functionally homogenized due to the frequent movement of vagile species (Guimarães et al 2014).…”

“…Species richness is commonly used as an explanatory variable for ecosystem function because it is easy to measure and sometimes correlates with functional diversity (Rosenfeld, Mall, & British, 2002). However, species composition and richness are poor predictors of the structure and function of the communities (Azevedo et al, 2017). Classifying species into groups based on taxonomic relationship and functional similarity have been shown to be an effective approach to study the influences of anthropogenic and environmental disturbances on ecosystems (Leibold & Chase, 2019).…”

“…Decreases in FD reduce the potential of communities to respond to changing environmental conditions in marine (Mouillot et al, 2011) and terrestrial ecosystems (Cadotte et al, 2011; Flynn et al, 2011). Sandy beaches are one of the most vulnerable coastal systems, as prior evidence suggests that few species fulfil key functional roles and may also be the least able to withstand eventual disturbances (Azevedo et al, 2017). Most decision‐making processes, however, have been based on species, habitat or socioeconomic metrics (D’Agata et al, 2014; Mouillot et al, 2011), and FD is often left out of management and conservation assessments (Laikre et al, 2016; von der Heyden, 2017).…”
