Functional Mapping of Multiple Dynamic Traits [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural, Biological and Environmental Statistics, 2016 Many biological phenomena undergo developmental changes in time and space. Functional mapping, which is aimed at mapping genes that affect developmental patterns, is instrumental for studying the genetic architecture of biological changes.

ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONAL LEAF TRAIT VARIATION AMONG THE DOMINANT UNDERSTOREY SPECIES IN THE PINE FOREST OF MORNI HILLS, PANCHKULA, HARYANA [PDF]
Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2021 The functionaldiversity is an essential concept in the field of ecology. It refers to the relative abundance, range, and value of the functional traits present in a given community or ecosystem.

Narcissistic Traits and Executive Functions [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Several personality disorders have been associated with cognitive impairment, including executive functions like working memory. Yet, it is unclear whether subclinical expression in non-clinical persons is associated with cognitive functioning. Recent studies indicate that non-clinical subjects might, in fact, perform better with increasing moderate to

The traits of “trait ecologists”: An analysis of the use of trait and functional trait terminology [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 AbstractTrait and functional trait approaches have revolutionized ecology improving our understanding of community assembly, species coexistence, and biodiversity loss. Focusing on traits promotes comparability across spatial and organizational scales, but terms must be used consistently.

Function-valued traits in evolution [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2013 Many biological characteristics of evolutionary interest are not scalar variables but continuous functions. Given a dataset of function-valued traits generated by evolution, we develop a practical, statistical approach to infer ancestral function-valued traits, and estimate the generative evolutionary process.

Mycorrhizal fungal and tree root functional traits: Strategies for integration and future directions
Ecosphere, 2023 Plant functional traits offer ecologists quantifiable characteristics that may be used to determine the underlying mechanisms and drivers of processes at scales ranging from individual plants to entire ecosystems. While research on belowground functional

Assemblage and functional categorization of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) from the Pantanal [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 The Pantanal is one of the world’s largest tropical wetland areas and harbors high mammal biomass. There is no formal list of dung beetle species, and studies on their functional roles have never being carried out in Pantanal.
