Leaf functional traits and pathogens: Linking coffee leaf rust with intraspecific trait variation in diversified agroecosystems [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2023
Research has demonstrated that intraspecific functional trait variation underpins plant responses to environmental variability. However, few studies have evaluated how trait variation shifts in response to plant pathogens, even though pathogens are a ...

Community functional responses to soil and climate at multiple spatial scales: when does intraspecific variation matter?

PLoS ONE, 2014
Despite increasing evidence of the importance of intraspecific trait variation in plant communities, its role in community trait responses to environmental variation, particularly along broad-scale climatic gradients, is poorly understood.

High functional diversity in deep‐sea fish communities and increasing intraspecific trait variation with increasing latitude [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Variation in both inter‐ and intraspecific traits affects community dynamics, yet we know little regarding the relative importance of external environmental filters versus internal biotic interactions that shape the functional space of communities along ...

Large Underestimation of Intraspecific Trait Variation and Its Improvements [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Intraspecific trait variation (ITV) is common feature of natural communities and has gained increasing attention due to its significant ecological effects on community dynamics and ecosystem functioning.

Intraspecific and intraindividual trait variability decrease with tree richness in a subtropical tree biodiversity experiment

Nature Communications
Phenotypic variability within tree species responds to local tree species richness. However, we lack evidence on how different sources of trait variation shape tree-tree interactions.

High intraspecific trait variation results in a resource allocation spectrum of a subtropical pine across an elevational gradient [PDF]

, 2022
Aim: Plant functional traits are broadly used to quantify and predict impacts of climate change on vegetation. However, high intraspecific trait variation can bias mean values when few measurements are available.

Intraspecific variability of some functional traits of Trigonocaryum involucratum (Steven) Medw., a Caucasus endemic plant [PDF]

Botanica Serbica, 2020
Plant traits have been used to predict species and community responses to environmental gradients. We studied variation of leaf area (LA), specific leaf area (SLA), flowering shoot number and seed mass along an elevation gradient in the case of ...

Trait-Based Community Assembly along an Elevational Gradient in Subalpine Forests: Quantifying the Roles of Environmental Factors in Inter- and Intraspecific Variability.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Understanding how communities respond to environmental variation is a central goal in ecology. Plant communities respond to environmental gradients via intraspecific and/or interspecific variation in plant functional traits.
