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.

Functional trait diversity maximizes ecosystem multifunctionality [PDF]
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2017 Understanding the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has been a core ecological research topic over the last decades. Although a key hypothesis is that the diversity of functional traits determines ecosystem functioning, we do not know how much trait diversity is needed to maintain multiple ecosystem functions simultaneously ...

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).

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.

Animal functional traits: Towards a trait‐based ecology for whole ecosystems
Functional Ecology, 2023 Abstract Functional traits and associated trait‐based concepts have driven rapid innovation in ecology over recent years, with most progress based on insights from plants. However, plants are almost entirely restricted to a single trophic level, and an over‐reliance on plant traits therefore neglects the complexity and importance of biotic ...

FunMap: functional mapping of complex traits [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 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
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.
