The traits of “trait ecologists”: An analysis of the use of trait and functional trait terminology [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Trait and functional trait approaches have revolutionized ecology improving our understanding of community assembly, species coexistence, and biodiversity loss. Focusing on traits promotes comparability across spatial and organizational scales, but terms

Detecting natural selection in trait-trait coevolution [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
ABSTRACTNo phenotypic trait evolves independently of all other traits, but the cause of trait-trait coevolution is poorly understood. While the coevolution could arise simply from pleiotropic mutations that simultaneously affect the traits concerned, it could also result from multivariate natural selection favoring certain trait relationships.

Genome-wide association study of cerebellar volume provides insights into heritable mechanisms underlying brain development and mental health

Communications Biology, 2022
A genome-wide association study on MRI cerebellar volume in the UK Biobank cohort identifies 30 loci with genome-wide significance that might be relevant to brain structure and cognitive function.

Flattening Traits. [PDF]

The Journal of Object Technology, 2006
Flattening TraitsTraits are fine-grained components that can be used to compose classes, while avoiding many of the problems of multiple inheritance and mixin-based approaches. Since most implementations of traits have focused on dynamically-typed languages, the question naturally arises, how can one best introduce traits to statically-typed languages,

Rare variant aggregation in 148,508 exomes identifies genes associated with proxy dementia

Scientific Reports, 2023
Proxy phenotypes allow for the utilization of genetic data from large population cohorts to analyze late-onset diseases by using parental diagnoses as a proxy for genetic disease risk. Proxy phenotypes based on parental diagnosis status have been used in

Genome-wide gene-environment interactions in neuroticism: an exploratory study across 25 environments

Translational Psychiatry, 2021
Gene-environment interactions (GxE) are often suggested to play an important role in the aetiology of psychiatric phenotypes, yet so far, only a handful of genome-wide environment interaction studies (GWEIS) of psychiatric phenotypes have been conducted.

Genome-wide meta-analysis of brain volume identifies genomic loci and genes shared with intelligence

Nature Communications, 2020
Brain volume and intelligence have been previously found to have shared genetic etiology, but the specific common genetic signals have not been identified.

Open Science principles for accelerating trait-based science across the Tree of Life. [PDF]

, 2020
Synthesizing trait observations and knowledge across the Tree of Life remains a grand challenge for biodiversity science. Species traits are widely used in ecological and evolutionary science, and new data and methods have proliferated rapidly.

Genetic distance predicts trait differentiation at the subpopulation but not the individual level in eelgrass, Zostera marina. [PDF]

, 2018
Ecological studies often assume that genetically similar individuals will be more similar in phenotypic traits, such that genetic diversity can serve as a proxy for trait diversity.
