Narcissistic Traits and Executive Functions [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
Several personality disorders have been associated with cognitive impairment, including executive functions like working memory. Yet, it is unclear whether subclinical expression in non-clinical persons is associated with cognitive functioning. Recent studies indicate that non-clinical subjects might, in fact, perform better with increasing moderate to

Functional Traits 2.0: The power of the metabolome for ecology [PDF]

Journal of Ecology, 2022
Abstract A major aim of ecology is to upscale attributes of individuals to understand processes at population, community and ecosystem scales.

Function-valued traits in evolution [PDF]

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2013
Many biological characteristics of evolutionary interest are not scalar variables but continuous functions. Given a dataset of function-valued traits generated by evolution, we develop a practical, statistical approach to infer ancestral function-valued traits, and estimate the generative evolutionary process.

A dataset on African bats’ functional traits

Scientific Data, 2023
AbstractTrait-based approaches are becoming extremely common in ecological modeling and the availability of traits databases is increasing. However, data availability is often biased towards particular regions and taxa, with many taxa (e.g., bats) often under-represented.

Macroinvertebrate traits in Arctic streams reveal latitudinal patterns in physiology and habits that are strongly linked to climate

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionArctic freshwater ecosystems are undergoing rapid environmental transformation because of climate change, which is predicted to produce fundamental alterations in river community structure and function.MethodsWe explored how climate change ...

Feet and legs malformation in Nellore cattle: genetic analysis and prioritization of GWAS results

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Beef cattle affected by feet and legs malformations (FLM) cannot perform their productive and reproductive functions satisfactorily, resulting in significant economic losses.

Grow slowly, persist, dominate—Explaining beech dominance in a primeval forest

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Being able to persist in deep shade is an important characteristic of juvenile trees, often leading to a strong dominance of shade‐tolerant species in forests with low canopy turnover and a low disturbance rate. While leaf, growth, and storage traits are

Plant Nutrient Contents Rather Than Physical Traits Are Coordinated Between Leaves and Roots in a Desert Shrubland

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Although leaf economics spectrum (LES) has been extensively tested with regional and global datasets, the correlation among functional traits of desert plants remains largely unclear.

Reflective Function and Borderline Traits in Adolescents [PDF]

Journal of Personality Disorders, 2020
Despite the developmental roots of the relation between attachment-based reflective function (RF) and borderline pathology, there is a lack of empirical studies examining this link in youth. We examined this link taking into account potential relations between RF and internalizing and externalizing pathology.

Winter dynamics of functional diversity and redundancy of riffle and pool macroinvertebrates after defoliation in a temperate forest stream

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Headwater streams are highly heterogenous and characterized by a sequence of riffles and pools, which are identified as distinct habitats. That higher species richness and density in riffles than in pools is considered a general pattern for ...
