Prioritizing phylogenetic diversity captures functional diversity unreliably [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 An ongoing conservation question is if we can maintain functional diversity by optimizing for preservation of phylogenetic diversity. Here, Mazel et al.

An attribute‐diversity approach to functional diversity, functional beta diversity, and related (dis)similarity measures [PDF]
Ecological Monographs, 2019 AbstractBased on the framework of attribute diversity (a generalization of Hill numbers of order q), we develop a class of functional diversity measures sensitive not only to species abundances but also to trait‐based species‐pairwise functional distances.

Climate change may have minor impact on zooplankton functional diversity in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
, 2019 Aim To assess the impact of climate change on the functional diversity of marine zooplankton communities. Location The Mediterranean Sea. Methods We used the functional traits and geographic distributions of 106 copepod species to estimate the ...

Scientific Reports, 2021 The radula is the food gathering and processing structure and one important autapomorphy of the Mollusca. It is composed of a chitinous membrane with small, embedded teeth representing the interface between the organism and its ingesta.

Conserving ecological functions of frog communities in Borneo requires diverse forest landscapes
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Recent studies suggest that differences in species composition across habitat types lead to increased multifunctionality on the regional scale. However, data about species turnover—and especially complementarity in the functional composition—across ...

Plants, 2020 Since the resolution of the ANA grade [Amborellales, Nymphaeales, Austrobaileyales] as sister to all other flowering plants, a few comparative studies of root structure have suggested that some of their anatomical traits could be of importance to ...

Nature Communications, 2023 Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is an aggressive tumour driven by bi-allelic loss of SMARCB1 and tightly associated with sickle cell trait. However, the cell-of-origin and oncogenic mechanism remain poorly understood.

A note on reliability estimation of functionally diverse systems [PDF]
, 1999 It has been argued that functional diversity might be a plausible means of claiming independence of failures between two versions of a system. We present a model of functional diversity, in the spirit of earlier models of diversity such as those of ...

High functional diversity is related to high nitrogen availability in a deciduous forest - evidence from a functional trait approach [PDF]
, 2010 The current study tested the assumption that floristic and functional diversity patterns are negatively related to soil nitrogen content. We analyzed 20 plots with soil N-contents ranging from 0.63% to 1.06% in a deciduous forest near Munich (Germany ...
