Strong intraspecific trait variation in a tropical dominant tree species along an elevational gradient [PDF]
Functional trait variation of plant species includes both inter- and intraspecific variation; however, trait-based plant ecology generally considers only interspecific variation while ignoring intraspecific variation.

Intraspecific Trait Variation and Coordination: Root and Leaf Economics Spectra in Coffee across Environmental Gradients [PDF]
Hypotheses on the existence of a universal “Root Economics Spectrum” (RES) have received arguably the least attention of all trait spectra, despite the key role root trait variation plays in resource acquisition potential.

Substantial intraspecific trait variation across a hydrological gradient in northern Australian fishes [PDF]
Trait‐based models of ecological communities and ecosystem functioning often fail to account for intraspecific variation in functional traits, assuming that intraspecific variability is negligible compared with interspecific variability.

Intraspecific trait variation of woody species reduced in a savanna community, southwest China [PDF]
Plants deploy various ecological strategies in response to environmental heterogeneity. In many forest ecosystems, plants have been reported to have notable inter- and intra-specific trait variation, as well as clear phylogenetic signals, indicating that

Little evidence for land-use filters on intraspecific trait variation in three arthropod groups [PDF]
Declines in species richness and abundance of insects over the last decades are often driven by anthropogenic land use and can have severe consequences for ecosystem functioning.

Intraspecific variation plays a key role in species' responses to environmental change; however, little is known about the role of changes in environmental quality (the population growth rate an environment supports) on intraspecific trait variation ...

Unravelling Trait–Environment Relationships at Local and Regional Scales in Temperate Forests
Understanding the trait–environment relationships has been a core ecological research topic in the face of global climate change. However, the strength of trait–environment relationships at the local and regional scales in temperate forests remains ...
