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.

Genetic factors of functional traits
World Rabbit Science, 2021 Selection of functional traits is a challenge for researchers, but an increasingly necessary objective due to the growing concern regarding animal welfare and overcoming the problems of reducing antibiotic use in rabbit production without undermining the

Using Functional Traits to Model Annual Plant Community Dynamics [PDF]
, 2020 Predicting the response of biological communities to changes in the environment or management is a fundamental pursuit of community ecology. Meeting this challenge requires the integration of multiple processes: habitat filtering, niche differentiation ...

Predicting intercrop competition, facilitation, and productivity from simple functional traits [PDF]
, 2023 Context Recent meta-analyses demonstrate that intercropping can increase the land use efficiency of crop production by 20–30 % on average, indicating a strong potential contribution to sustainable intensification.

A dataset on African bats’ functional traits
Scientific 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.

Can Functional Traits Explain Plant Coexistence? A Case Study with Tropical Lianas and Trees
Diversity, 2020 Organisms are adapted to their environment through a suite of anatomical, morphological, and physiological traits. These functional traits are commonly thought to determine an organism’s tolerance to environmental conditions.

Complexity vs linearity: relations between functional traits in a heterotrophic protist
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Background Functional traits are phenotypic traits that affect an organism’s performance and shape ecosystem-level processes. The main challenge when using functional traits to quantify biodiversity is to choose which ones to measure since effort and ...
