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.

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

Functional Traits 2.0: The power of the metabolome for ecology [PDF]

Journal of Ecology, 2022
Abstract A major aim of ecology is to upscale attributes of individuals to understand processes at population, community and ecosystem scales.

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.

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.

Reflective Function and Borderline Traits in Adolescents [PDF]

Journal of Personality Disorders, 2020
Despite the developmental roots of the relation between attachment-based reflective function (RF) and borderline pathology, there is a lack of empirical studies examining this link in youth. We examined this link taking into account potential relations between RF and internalizing and externalizing pathology.

Friendship functions and personality traits

Psihologija, 2009
The goal of our study was exploration of the factor structure of the MFQ-FF inventory on a sample from Serbian population, and the relations of measures from this inventory (friendship functions) with personality traits, as operationalized by the seven factor model proposed by Tellegen and Waller.

The Net Effect of Functional Traits on Fitness [PDF]

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2020
Generalizing the effect of traits on performance across species may be achievable if traits explain variation in population fitness. However, testing relationships between traits and vital rates to infer effects on fitness can be misleading. Demographic trade-offs can generate variation in vital rates that yield equal population growth rates, thereby ...

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 ...

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.
