Amygdala Hypoactivity to Fearful Faces in Boys With Conduct Problems and Callous-Unemotional Traits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
OBJECTIVE: Although early-onset conduct problems predict both psychiatric and health problems in adult life, little research has been done to index neural correlates of conduct problems. Emerging research suggests that a subgroup of children with conduct

All Traits Are Functional: An Evolutionary Viewpoint

open access: yesTrends 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 ...

Reflective Function and Borderline Traits in Adolescents [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

FunMap: functional mapping of complex traits [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformatics, 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

The Net Effect of Functional Traits on Fitness [PDF]

open access: yesTrends 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 ...

Bird functional traits affect seed dispersal patterns of China’s endangered trees across different disturbed habitats

open access: yesAvian Research, 2018
Background The most dominant global threat to natural forests and their biodiversity is land-cover change, which has negative impacts on both species persistence and ecosystem functions.

Calculation of multiple-trait sire reliability for traits included in a dairy cattle fertility index [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The advent of genetic evaluations for fertility traits in the UK offers valuable information to farmers that can be used to control fertility problems and safeguard against involuntary culling.

Functional diversity influence in forest wood stock: a study of the brazilian savanna

open access: yesBioscience Journal, 2016
Research regarding biodiversity and ecosystem services has been demonstrating a positive correlation among the ecosystem processes, such as the carbon sink into plant biomass and the quantity of carbon in natural vegetation.

Traits with ecological functions [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Botany, 2012
Individual plant species thrive in specific environments, some growing well across a wide area, others being restricted to survival in very narrow ecological niches. Within a niche, a species must compete for space, light and other resources with the same and other species. Many decades of work on crops has advanced our understanding of characteristics
