Functional Paleoecology and the Pollen-Plant Functional Trait Linkage
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Paleoecological investigations using the pollen-plant functional trait linkage are increasing in value as new insights to past ecological function and dynamics are revealed. These retrospective approaches link pollen sequences to plant functional trait measurements to reveal long-term changes in ecosystem properties that are difficult to resolve using ...

Mechanisms driving plant functional trait variation in a tropical forest
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Plant functional trait variation in tropical forests results from taxonomic differences in phylogeny and associated genetic differences, as well as, phenotypic plastic responses to the environment.

Local bird traits match fruit traits of two alien plants in urban fruit-frugivore interactions
Ecología Austral, 2023 Bird-mediated seed dispersal enhances invasions of many alien plant species. Typically, this mutualism is composed of a generalist assemblage of frugivorous birds in which morphological trait matching between bird and plant species is often thought to ...

Functional traits of fossil plants
New PhytologistSummaryA minuscule fraction of the Earth's paleobiological diversity is preserved in the geological record as fossils. What plant remnants have withstood taphonomic filtering, fragmentation, and alteration in their journey to become part of the fossil record provide unique information on how plants functioned in paleo‐ecosystems through their traits ...

Plant chemical traits define functional and phylogenetic axes of plant biodiversity
Ecology Letters, 2023 Abstract To determine which types of plant traits might better explain ecosystem functioning and plant evolutionary histories, we compiled 42 traits for each of 15 perennial species in a biodiversity experiment. We used every possible combination of three traits to cluster species.

Gcorn Plant: A Database for Retrieving Functional and Evolutionary Traits of Plant Genes [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2019 Gene homology helps us understand gene function and speciation. The number of plant genes and species registered in public databanks is continuously increasing. It is useful to associate homologous genes of various plants to better understand plant speciation.
