Tóm tắt	Functional diversity quantifies the range and abundance distribution of functional traits (morphology, physiology, behavior) among species in a community. Developed by Mouillot and colleagues (2008), functional diversity indices measure how different species are in their ecological roles and resource use strategies. Unlike species richness (number of species), functional diversity captures the breadth of ecological strategies, predicting ecosystem function and stability.	Indicator Value (IndVal) analysis, developed by Dufrene and Legendre (1997), identifies species that reliably indicate the presence of particular environmental conditions, habitat types, or community groups. The method quantifies the association between species and habitat, producing an indicator value that combines specificity (exclusive preference for certain habitats) and fidelity (consistent presence when the habitat occurs). IndVal is widely used in conservation to identify species of management concern, in habitat typing to discover indicator species, and in restoration ecology to assess whether recovered communities match reference conditions.
