Intraspecific leaf trait variation mediates edge effects on litter decomposition rate in fragmented forests

open access: yes, 2023
There is strong trait dependence in species-level responses to environmental change and their cascading effects on ecosystem functioning. However, there is little understanding of whether intraspecific trait variation (ITV) can also be an important ...

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Relationships among tissues, biofluids, and otolith selenium concentrations in wild female burbot (Lota lota)

open access: yesIntegrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Intraspecific variation in functional traits of Evodianthus funifer (Cyclanthaceae) across upland and white-water floodplain forests in the Eastern Amazon [PDF]

open access: yesActa Amazonica
Amazonian rainforests exhibit marked variation in seasonal flooding, water availability, climate, and light conditions, providing an important setting for understanding intraspecific functional adjustments.

Tooth row allometry in domestic rabbits and nondomestic lagomorphs: Evidence for a decoupling of body and tooth row size changes in evolutionary time

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Domestic rabbits of different body sizes differ disproportionately in the length of their tooth row or the length of their diastema. Abstract In various domestic mammals, smaller breeds tend to have proportionally larger teeth, whereas this is not a universal trend across mammals.

Shifts and plasticity of plant leaf mass per area and leaf size among slope aspects in a subalpine meadow

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
The composition of vegetation on a slope frequently changes substantially owing to the different micro‐environments of various slope aspects. To understand how the slope aspect affects the vegetation changes, we examined the variations in leaf mass per ...

Spatial heterogeneity of soil factors enhances intraspecific variation in plant functional traits in a desert ecosystem

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionFunctional traits of desert plants exhibit remarkable responsiveness, adaptability and plasticity to environmental heterogeneity.MethodsIn this study, we measured six crucial plant functional traits (leaf carbon, leaf nitrogen, leaf ...

Locally-adapted reproductive photoperiodism determines population vulnerability to climate change in burying beetles

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Understanding whether intraspecific trait variation results from local adaptation or phenotypic plasticity is crucial to predict species responses to climate change. Here the authors investigate geographically distinct burying beetle populations, showing
