Case study 3 - Effect of intraspecific trait variability in time on the ranking of species trait values Description We considered a theoretical trait value for two co-existing species (each with 10 individuals) on a time interval equal to 20 units of time. Species performance with regard to this trait was compared for 4 models incorporating different levels and forms of ITV (see How much ITV is there in the study system? and How do traits vary?). (a) The first model (no ITV) illustrated the classical trait-based approach which does not take into account ITV: species 1 and 2 are characterized by different mean trait values TV jit (j=1, 2) that are constant over time t and between individuals i within the species: TV2it=µ2>TV1it=µ1. (b) The second model (Temporal ITV) assumed a temporal variability V Tj of the species trait value (e.g. due to climatic factors) affecting all the individuals of a species in the same way: TVjit = µj + Τt with Τt ~N(0,VTj). (c) The third model (Spatial and Temporal ITV) supposed an additional spatial individual variability VSj of the species trait value: TVjit = µj + Τt + Si with Si~N(0,VSj). (d) Finally, the fourth model (Unstructured ITV) assumed an unstructured ITV entering the model through a residual variance σ²: TVjit = µj + εit with εit~N(0, σj²). For each model, we run 500 trait value simulations and we compared the percentage of occurrences for which the species hierarchy was inverted (Sp. 1 > Sp. 2, see How to proceed for multiple study species?). For this example, we fixed the parameters to the following values: µ1=3, µ2=5, W1=W2=2, V1=V2=3 and σ1²=σ2²=W+V=5. Conclusion With this theoretical approach, we show (i) how ITV can be structured in space and time and (ii) how ITV can potentially modify the species performance ranking and thus potentially the between species competition if the trait under consideration is vegetative height for instance. (Sp2>Sp1 in mean and in general, but might be Sp1>Sp2 depending on when and on which individual measured)

Figure S2. Intraspecific trait variability (ITV) for the specific leaf area of two grasses: Dactylis glomerata and Festuca paniculata D. glomerata is a fast-growing species (acquisitive strategy) and F. paniculata a slowgrowing species (conservative strategy), both being perennial, broadly-distributed graminoids. Distributions of specific leaf area (SLA) values for D. glomerata (left, dark grey) and F. paniculata (right, light grey) have been gathered from the literature and are represented with violin plots. Violin plots are a combination of a boxplot and a kernel density plot (a nonparametric way of estimating the probability density function of a random variable). They present (i) the density of the data estimated by kernel method (in grey) (ii) the median value (black dash) (iii) the inter-quartile range: between the first and the third ones (black segment). Each distribution represents a different study. The environmental and genetic factors (“treatments”) resulting in ITV, are given as symbols below (or above). The four vertical arrows represent respectively: ITV for D. glomerata, the difference between SLA mean values for D. glomerata and F. paniculata (interspecific variability) and the overlap between the overall distributions of SLA values for the two species. Mean SLA values are very different for the two species: 25.9 mm² mg-1 for D. glomerata vs. 11.4 mm² mg-1 for F. paniculata , t = 31.7 and P < 0.0001).
