Climate change may have minor impact on zooplankton functional diversity in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
, 2019 Aim To assess the impact of climate change on the functional diversity of marine zooplankton communities. Location The Mediterranean Sea. Methods We used the functional traits and geographic distributions of 106 copepod species to estimate the ...

Mapping functional traits: comparing abundance and presence-absence estimates at large spatial scales [PDF]
, 2012 Efforts to quantify the composition of biological communities increasingly focus on functional traits. The composition of communities in terms of traits can be summarized in several ways.

Global relationships in tree functional traits
Nature Communications, 2022 AbstractDue to massive energetic investments in woody support structures, trees are subject to unique physiological, mechanical, and ecological pressures not experienced by herbaceous plants. Despite a wealth of studies exploring trait relationships across the entire plant kingdom, the dominant traits underpinning these unique aspects of tree form and ...

Mapping hybrid functional-structural connectivity traits in the human connectome [PDF]
, 2018 One of the crucial questions in neuroscience is how a rich functional repertoire of brain states relates to its underlying structural organization. How to study the associations between these structural and functional layers is an open problem that ...

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.

Using life-history traits to explain bird population responses to changing weather variability [PDF]
, 2011 Bird population dynamics are expected to change in response to increased weather variability, an expression of climate change. The extent to which species are sensitive to effects of weather on survival and reproduction depends on their life-history ...

Polytraits : a database on biological traits of marine polychaetes [PDF]
, 2014 The study of ecosystem functioning – the role which organisms play in an ecosystem – is becoming increasingly important in marine ecological research. The functional structure of a community can be represented by a set of functional traits assigned to ...

Seasonal variations alter the impact of functional traits on plankton dynamics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Gaining understanding of food-web processes often requires a simplified representation of natural diversity. One such simplification can be based on functional traits, as functionally similar species may provide a similar contribution to ecosystem level ...

Assessing resilience and sensitivity patterns for fish and phytoplankton in French lakes
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Ecosystem vulnerability is crucial information for conservation managers. We assessed the sensitivity and resilience (vulnerability components) patterns of fish and phytoplankton assemblages in French lakes (natural and artificial).
