我们提出了术语定义，以加强生物学家和浮游生物生态学建模者之间正在进行的合作。生物“功能类型”指的是生态学上的共性，而不是生物地球化学上的共性；后者在很大程度上是前者的新兴特性，而与生态学的一致也与陆地科学的用法一致。与遗传学一样，适应应限于考虑物种代际变化；因此，大多数所谓的“适应性”浮游生物模型都是适应性的，根据刺激调整生命速率。理想情况下，性状权衡方法应该只用于描述代内相互作用；在世代之间的应用中，当然在不相关的物种之间，应该避免这样的概念。我们建议系统生物学方法，通过复杂的适应性/适应性系统建模，与反馈过程的明确建模（我们建议应该定义“机械”模型），将为开发功能类型模型的描述提供现实和灵活的基础。
We propose definitions in terminology to enhance ongoing collaborations between biologists and modellers on plankton ecology. Organism "functional type" should refer to commonality in ecology not biogeochemistry; the latter is largely an emergent property of the former, while alignment with ecology is also consistent with usage in terrestrial science. Adaptation should be confined, as in genetics, to consideration of species inter-generational change; most so-called "adaptive" plankton models are thus acclimative, modifying vital rates in response to stimuli. Trait trade-off approaches should ideally only be considered for describing intra-generational interactions; in applications between generations, and certainly between unrelated species, such concepts should be avoided. We suggest that systems biology approaches, through to complex adaptive/acclimative systems modelling, with explicit modelling of feedback processes (which we suggest should define "mechanistic" models), would provide realistic and flexible bases upon which to develop descriptions of functional type models.
