Mechanisms driving plant functional trait variation in a tropical forest
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Plant functional trait variation in tropical forests results from taxonomic differences in phylogeny and associated genetic differences, as well as, phenotypic plastic responses to the environment.

Mapping functional traits: comparing abundance and presence-absence estimates at large spatial scales [PDF]
, 2012 Efforts to quantify the composition of biological communities increasingly focus on functional traits. The composition of communities in terms of traits can be summarized in several ways.

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

Functional trait‐based approaches as a common framework for aquatic ecologists
Limnology and Oceanography, 2020 Aquatic ecologists face challenges in identifying the general rules of the functioning of ecosystems. A common framework, including freshwater, marine, benthic, and pelagic ecologists, is needed to bridge communication gaps and foster knowledge sharing ...
