Transposable Element–Driven PIEZO Mutation Enhances Locust Flight in Plateau Hypoxia
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Why transposable elements (TEs) persisted or expanded in genomes remains a mystery. Using integrated analysis of TE macro‐ and microevolution in locusts, our results showed that thousands of TE insertions promoted widespread adaptive variation. Subfamilies of candidate adaptive TEs amplified and reshaped species‐level genomic architecture.

From plant functional types to plant functional traits
Progress in Physical Geography, 2015Dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) typically track the material and energy cycles in ecosystems with finite plant functional types (PFTs). Increasingly, the community ecology and modelling studies recognize that current PFT scheme is not sufficient for simulating ecological processes.

Plant–soil feedbacks: role of plant functional group and plant traits
Journal of Ecology, 2016 Summary Plant–soil feedback (PSF), plant trait and functional group concepts advanced our understanding of plant community dynamics, but how they are interlinked is poorly known. To test how plant functional groups (FGs: graminoids, small herbs, tall herbs, legumes) and plant traits relate to PSF, we grew 48 grassland species in sterilized soil ...

Linking plant conservatism scores to plant functional traits
Ecological Indicators, 2020 Abstract Many indices to assess ecosystem health involve conservatism scores (C-scores), which are assigned to individual plant species by expert regional botanists and are intended to provide a semi-quantitative metric of a species’ tolerance to environmental perturbation.

Functional Plant Traits and Plant-Herbivore Interactions
2020Functional diversity is a key concept to understand how plants respond to selective pressures and how they influence ecosystem processes. Although there is empirical information about the variation of the functional traits of plants in environmental gradients, their use to understand their biotic interactions has been little explored.

Plant functional traits and the multidimensional nature of species coexistence [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2015 Significance Biologists have long understood that differences between species in traits such as bill shape or rooting depth can maintain diversity in communities by promoting specialization and reducing competition. Here we test the assumption that phenotypic differences drive the stabilizing niche differences that promote coexistence.

Plant Functional Traits: Soil and Ecosystem Services
Trends in Plant Science, 2017Decline of ecosystem services has triggered numerous studies aiming at developing more sustainable agricultural management practices. Some agricultural practices may improve soil properties by expanding plant biodiversity. However, sustainable management of agroecosystems should be performed from a functional plant trait perspective.

Land-plant ecology on the basis of functional traits
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2006The tissue traits and architectures of plant species are important for land-plant ecology in two ways. First, they control ecosystem processes and define habitat and resources for other taxa; thus, they are a high priority for understanding the ecosystem at a site.
