Changes in co-existence mechanisms along a long-term soil chronosequence revealed by functional trait diversity [PDF]
, 2012 1. Functional trait diversity can reveal mechanisms of species co-existence in plant communities. Few studies have tested whether functional diversity for foliar traits related to resource use strategy increases or decreases with declining soil ...

30 Years of postdisturbance recruitment in a Neotropical forest
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Questions Long‐term community response to disturbance can follow manifold successional pathways depending on the interplay between various recruitment processes. Analyzing the succession of recruited communities provides a long‐term perspective on forest

Leaf Trait Networks Based on Global Data: Representing Variation and Adaptation in Plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The interdependence of multiple traits allows plants to perform multiple functions. Acquiring an accurate representation of the interdependence of plant traits could advance our understanding of the adaptative strategies of plants.

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 ...

Concerted Genetic Function in Blood Traits [PDF]
Cell, 2016 The hematopoietic system plays a major role in human health. Two studies by Astle et al. and Chen et al. published in this issue of Cell use genome-wide association and functional genomics approaches to provide deep insights into the role of genetic variants in hematological traits.

State and trait characteristics of anterior insula time-varying functional connectivity. [PDF]
, 2020 The human anterior insula (aINS) is a topographically organized brain region, in which ventral portions contribute to socio-emotional function through limbic and autonomic connections, whereas the dorsal aINS contributes to cognitive processes through ...

Divergent drivers of leaf trait variation within species, among species, and among functional groups. [PDF]
, 2018 Understanding variation in leaf functional traits-including rates of photosynthesis and respiration and concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus-is a fundamental challenge in plant ecophysiology. When expressed per unit leaf area, these traits typically

funspace: An R package to build, analyse and plot functional trait spaces
Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversityFunctional trait space analyses are pivotal to describe and compare organisms' functional diversity across the tree of life. Yet, there is no single application that streamlines the many sometimes‐troublesome steps needed to build and analyse functional ...
