Intraspecific Trait Variation in Tree Species Responds to Environmental Heterogeneity at Range-Wide but Not Local Scales. [PDF]
Here we explore the relationship between ITV, spatial and temporal environmental heterogeneity, and the breadth of species' environmental distributions for 33 tree species across eight sites across marked environmental gradients in Puerto Rico. Species with greater across‐site ITV in wood density and LMA occurred over broader ranges of potential ...

The ontogenetic trajectory of height and crown allocation of tropical trees is an essential indicator of their life histories. Here, we show that this whole plant strategy can be linked to organ‐level plant functional traits leading to insights into how phenotypes are integrated.

The anti‐Trypanosoma activities of medicinal plants: A systematic review of the literature
Abstract Background The existing drug treatments for trypanosomiases are limited and suffer from shortcomings due to their toxicity and the emergence of resistant parasites. Developing anti‐trypanosomal compounds based on natural products is a promising way of fighting trypanosomiases.
