Aim: To identify functional traits that best predict community assembly without knowing the driving environmental factors. Methods: We propose a new method that is based on the correlation r(XY) between two matrices of potential community composition: matrix X is fuzzy-weighted by trait similarities of species, and matrix Y is derived by Beals smoothing using the probabilities of species co-occurrences. Since matrix X is based on one or more traits, r(XY) measures how well the traits used for
