Investigating the Assemblages of Two Groups of Collembola (Strong Furca and Weak Furca) under Different Agricultural Management Systems, Northeastern China

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Agriculture itself has been considered one of the leading reasons for biodiversity loss because of the huge quantity of land dedicated to just this activity, and agricultural intensification has impacted soil organisms at several taxonomic levels.

Using a Multi-Trait Approach to Manipulate Plant Functional Diversity in a Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function Experiment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A frequent pattern emerging from biodiversity-ecosystem function studies is that functional group richness enhances ecosystem functions such as primary productivity.

FunMap: functional mapping of complex traits [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformatics, 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

A dataset on African bats’ functional traits

open access: yesScientific 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.

Revealing evolutionary constraints on proteins through sequence analysis

open access: yes, 2019
Statistical analysis of alignments of large numbers of protein sequences has revealed "sectors" of collectively coevolving amino acids in several protein families.

Intraspecific variability in functional traits matters : case study of Scots pine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Although intraspecific trait variability is an important component of species ecological plasticity and niche breadth, its implications for community and functional ecology have not been thoroughly explored.

Functional trait composition and diversity patterns of marine macrobenthos across the Arctic Bering Sea

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2019
The use of functional trait analysis has been advocated to uncover the global mechanisms behind biodiversity responses to environmental variation, but the application of this approach to the Arctic macrobenthic community is underdeveloped relative to ...

Effects of Wood Distillate on Seedling Emergence and First-Stage Growth in Five Threatened Arable Plants

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Wood distillate (WD) is an environmentally safe bio-based product stimulating plant growth and yield and allowed in Italy in organic farming. To the best of our knowledge, there are no studies on the effects of WD on spontaneous plants growing among ...

TRY plant trait database - enhanced coverage and open access [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Plant traits-the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants-determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits ...

Traits with ecological functions [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Botany, 2012
Individual plant species thrive in specific environments, some growing well across a wide area, others being restricted to survival in very narrow ecological niches. Within a niche, a species must compete for space, light and other resources with the same and other species. Many decades of work on crops has advanced our understanding of characteristics
