Use and misuse of trait imputation in ecology: the problem of using out‐of‐context imputed values
Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 6, June 2025.Despite the progress in the measurement and accessibility of plant trait information, acquiring sufficiently complete data from enough species to answer broad‐scale questions in plant functional ecology and biogeography remains challenging. A common way to overcome this challenge is by imputation, or ‘gap‐filling' of trait values.

Plant functional traits and the entangled phenotype
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 1144-1159, May 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Integrated phenotypes consist of multiple traits with enough coordination within and across organs to result in viable individuals, which not only respond to the surrounding environment but also modify it in myriad ways.
