First evidence of ranunculids in Early Cretaceous tropics
Scientific Reports, 2022 Early Cretaceous floras containing angiosperms were described from several geographic areas, nearly from the Arctic to the Antarctic, and are crucial to understand their evolution and radiation.

Which Seed Properties Determine the Preferences of Carabid Beetle Seed Predators?
Insects, 2020 Ground beetles are important invertebrate seed predators in temperate agro-ecosystems. However, there is a lack of information regarding which seed properties are important to carabids when they select seeds for consumption.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
