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.

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 ...

Bombax ceiba is a Good Native Tree Species for Performing Reforestation to Restore Highly Degraded Tropical Forests in Hainan Island, China

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Reforestation is an effective way to alleviate deforestation and its negative impacts on ecosystem services. It is widely recognized that the most key step for reforestation is using suitable native species, but selecting suitable native tree species is ...

High functional diversity in deep‐sea fish communities and increasing intraspecific trait variation with increasing latitude

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Variation in both inter‐ and intraspecific traits affects community dynamics, yet we know little regarding the relative importance of external environmental filters versus internal biotic interactions that shape the functional space of communities along ...

Friendship functions and personality traits

Psihologija, 2009
The goal of our study was exploration of the factor structure of the MFQ-FF inventory on a sample from Serbian population, and the relations of measures from this inventory (friendship functions) with personality traits, as operationalized by the seven factor model proposed by Tellegen and Waller.

Using Trait-Based Approaches to Assess the Response of Epedaphic Collembola to Organic Matter Management Practices: A Case Study in a Rubber Plantation in South-Eastern Côte d’Ivoire

Insects, 2022
We used trait-based approaches to reveal the functional responses of springtails communities to organic matter inputs in a rubber plantation in Côte d’Ivoire. Pitfall traps were used to sample springtails in each practice.

The Net Effect of Functional Traits on Fitness [PDF]

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2020
Generalizing the effect of traits on performance across species may be achievable if traits explain variation in population fitness. However, testing relationships between traits and vital rates to infer effects on fitness can be misleading. Demographic trade-offs can generate variation in vital rates that yield equal population growth rates, thereby ...
