Evaluation of Naked Barley Landraces for Agro-morphological Traits [PDF]
, 2020 Naked barley (Hordeum vulgare var. nudum L.) is a traditional, culturally important, climate-resilient winter cereal crop of Nepal. Evaluation of the naked barely genotypes for yield and disease is fundamental for their efficient utilization in plant ...

The static allometry of sexual and non-sexual traits in vervet monkeys [PDF]
, 2014 Sexual traits vary tremendously in static allometry. This variation may be explained in part by body size-related differences in the strength of selection.

Fungal Traits Important for Soil Aggregation [PDF]
, 2020 Soil structure, the complex arrangement of soil into aggregates and pore spaces, is a key feature of soils and soil biota. Among them, filamentous saprobic fungi have well-documented effects on soil aggregation. However, it is unclear what properties, or

Ecological and Functional Traits in 99 Bird Species over a Large-Scale Gradient in Germany
Data, 2017 A gap still exists in published data on variation of morphological and ecological traits for common bird species over a large area. To diminish this knowledge gap, we report here average values of 99 bird species from three sites in Germany from the ...

Tempo and mode of performance evolution across multiple independent origins of adhesive toe pads in lizards [PDF]
, 2017 Understanding macroevolutionary dynamics of trait evolution is an important endeavor in evolutionary biology. Ecological opportunity can liberate a trait as it diversifies through trait space, while genetic and selective constraints can limit ...
