The importance of intraspecific variation in litter consumption rate of aquatic and terrestrial macro-detritivores

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2022
Traits of organisms vary both at inter- and intraspecific levels. For macro-detritivores inhabiting lands and waters, there is only scattered information on the relative contribution of the intraspecific level for traits like litter consumption rates ...

How Does Intraspecific Trait Variation Influence the Climate Niche Breadth of Tropical Tree Species?

, 2022
With the contribution of intraspecific trait variation (ITV) to ecological processes being increasingly appreciated, its role in defining niche characteristics arises as a topic of interest.

Climate and soil explain contrasting intraspecific trait variability of widespread species over a large environmental gradient

Global Ecology and Conservation
Both climatic and edaphic conditions are currently undergoing significant changes on a global scale. Early studies have suggested that climate and soil together shape plant performance.

The effect of intraspecific variation and heritability on community pattern and robustness [PDF]

, 2016
Intraspecific trait variation is widespread in nature, yet its effects on community dynamics are not well understood. Here we explore the consequences of intraspecific trait variation for coexistence in two‐ and multispecies competitive communities.

The Collective Power of Bacteria as a Blueprint for Emergent Intelligence

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Small cells, powerful collectives. Bacteria demonstrate how sophisticated behaviors can emerge from many simple individuals working together. We explore the remarkable world of bacterial communities and the mechanisms that underpin their complex emergent behaviors, enabling impressive adaptability, robustness, and responsiveness to changing ...

Percentages of total variation in community-weighted mean trait values due to species turnover, intraspecific variation, and their covariation.

, 2014
Positive covariation indicates that sites dominated by species with high trait values also have individuals with higher than average trait values for their species.Percentages of total variation in community-weighted mean trait values due to species ...

Herbarium‐based measurements are reliable predictors of fresh plant traits in Neotropical Myrtaceae

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Herbarium specimens are increasingly used to extract morphological traits for ecological and evolutionary studies, yet the effects of tissue desiccation on trait measurements remain poorly understood. Here, we tested two hypotheses: (H1) whether higher tissue water content leads to greater measurement changes after herborization and ...

Mining buried plant trait data from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF): Comparison and integration with multiple plant trait databases

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Despite the availability of several plant trait databases, significant traits remain undocumented for a substantial number of species. To address this issue, the current study explored digital text from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) as an innovative source of plant trait information and evaluated its capacity to ...
