Provenance Variation in Functional Traits of European Forest Trees: Meta‐Analysis Reveals Effects of Taxa and Age Despite Critical Research Gaps

Ecology and Evolution
Climate change is driving profound transformations in European forests. Understanding the adaptive potential of tree species is a key challenge for conservation and adaptation measures.

Intraspecific leaf trait variation in tropical agroforestry systems: a case study of shade-grown coffee [PDF]

, 2016
Understanding plant functional traits is critical for a mechanistic understanding of agroecological processes, with increasing attention on understanding specifically the extent, causes, and consequences of within-species trait variation of cultivated ...

Increasing the digital repository of DNA barcoding sequences of sand flies (Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) [PDF]

, 2019
Sand f ly identification is complex because it depends on the expertise of the taxonomist. The females show subtle morphological differences and the occurrence of the species complexes are usual in this taxon.

Genetic sorting of subordinate species in grassland modulated by intraspecific variation in dominant species.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Genetic variation in a single species can have predictable and heritable effects on associated communities and ecosystem processes, however little is known about how genetic variation of a dominant species affects plant community assembly.

Intraspecific transitioning of ecological strategies in Pinus massoniana trees across restoration stages

Ecology and Evolution
Intraspecific variation in plant functional traits and ecological strategies is typically overlooked in most studies despite its pivotal role at the local scales and along short environmental gradients.

Extensive Variation in Thermal Responses and Toxin Content Among 40 Strains of the Cold-Water Diatom Pseudo-nitzschia seriata—In a Global Warming Context

Toxins
Phytoplankton are single-celled microorganisms with short generation times that may comprise high diversity in genetic and phenotypic traits, allowing them to acclimate to changes rapidly.

On the intraspecific variation in morphometry and shape of sagittal otoliths of common sardine, Strangomera bentincki, off central-southern Chile

Scientia Marina, 2012
Size and shape of fish otoliths are species-specific, but some species also display intraspecific variations. The common sardine, Strangomera bentincki, is a small pelagic fish inhabiting a seasonal upwelling ecosystem off central-southern Chile, having ...

A review of some characters used in the taxonomy of Cryptops (subgenus Cryptops) (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha: Cryptopidae)

Soil Organisms, 2009
Variation in a number of taxonomic characters in Cryptops (Cryptops) is discussed. Some, such as the shape of the poison gland calyx and the arrangement of setae on the anterior margin of the forcipular coxosternum, are very reliable.
