Ant functional responses along environmental gradients [PDF]
, 2014 1.Understanding species distributions and diversity gradients is a central challenge in ecology and requires prior knowledge of the functional traits mediating species’ survival under particular environmental conditions.

Characterising functional strategies and trait space of freshwater macroinvertebrates
Scientific Reports, 2022 We examined the functional strategies and the trait space of 596 European taxa of freshwater macroinvertebrates characterized by 63 fuzzy coded traits belonging to 11 trait groups.

Functional estimates from surface pollen samples in North America
, 2020 Surface pollen samples were transformed from relative abundances to ecological function by linking plant functional traits to pollen datasets in North America to test the ability of the transformation to track ecological function at present.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Due to warming, changes in microclimatic temperatures have shifted plant community structure and dynamics in tundra and alpine regions. The directionality and magnitude of these changes are less known for tropical alpine ecosystems.

All Traits Are Functional: An Evolutionary Viewpoint
Trends in Plant Science, 2021 There is increasing confusion regarding the term 'functional trait' and its links with ecosystem functioning. Functional traits are defined as traits that affect individual fitness. I use an evolutionary rationale that considers the integration of the phenotype, the environmental variation, and the relationship between both, to propose that all traits ...

Data, 2018 Plant functional traits have been incorporated in studies of vegetation ecology to better understand the mechanisms of ecological processes. For this reason, a global effort has been made to collect functional traits data for as many species as possible.

FunMap: functional mapping of complex traits [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2004 Abstract Summary: FunMap is a Web-based user interface designed to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting function-valued traits or infinite-dimensional traits in well-structured pedigrees or natural populations. User input includes three files: longitudinal trait data, marker genotypes and/or a linkage map. This software allows for

Trait anxiety and the neural efficiency of manipulation in working memory [PDF]
, 2012 The present study investigates the effects of trait anxiety on the neural efficiency of working memory component functions (manipulation vs. maintenance) in the absence of threat-related stimuli.
