Strong intraspecific trait variation in a tropical dominant tree species along an elevational gradient [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Diversity, 2020
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]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
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]

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
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]

open access: yesPlant Diversity, 2022
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]

open access: yesWeb Ecology, 2023
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.

The role of changes in environmental quality in multitrait plastic responses to environmental and social change in the model microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
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 ...

Intraspecific Variation on Palm Leaf Traits of Co-occurring Species—Does Local Hydrology Play a Role?

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
The study of plant species and trait distributions can provide answers to many of the ecological challenges of our times, from climate change to the biodiversity crisis.

Unravelling Trait–Environment Relationships at Local and Regional Scales in Temperate Forests

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
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 ...

Large-Scale Controls on the Leaf Economic Spectrum of the Overstory Tree Species Metrosideros polymorpha

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
The role of intraspecific trait variation in functional ecology has gained traction in recent years as many papers have observed its importance in driving community diversity and ecology.

The relative contribution of intraspecific variation and species turnover to the community-level foliar stoichiometric characteristics in different soil moisture and salinity habitats.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
BackgroundTrait-based approaches have been used to demonstrate the responses of plant functional traits to environmental change may manifest both among- and/or within-species.
