Detecting natural selection in trait-trait coevolution
No phenotypic trait evolves independently of all other traits, but the cause of trait-trait coevolution is poorly understood. While the coevolution...

Trait-based approach revealed the seasonal variation of mesozooplankton functional groups in the South Yellow Sea
Functional traits determine the fitness of organisms and mirror their ecological functions. Although trait-based approaches provide ecological...

Quantifying functional trait assembly along a temperate successional gradient with consideration of intraspecific variations and functional groups
Advances in functional trait ecology allow us to evaluate community structure and community assembly in a more quantitative and generalised manner....

Drought intensity and duration effects on morphological root traits vary across trait type and plant functional groups: a meta-analysis
The increasing severity and frequency of drought pose serious threats to plant species worldwide. Yet, we lack a general understanding of how various...

Trait Based Association Map** in Plants
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) estimate the likelihood of association between genotype and phenotype in any large collection of material and...

Intraspecific leaf trait variation of the heterophyllous amphibious plant Luronium natans: a trait-based study
Heterophylly, a type of intraspecific trait variation (ITV), is commonly observed in aquatic and amphibious plants. In this study, we focused on Luroni...

Forward Genetics: Phenomics and Trait Selection
The precision of trait identification and selection is essential for enhancing genetic gain in any crop improvement program. This requires an...

Trait-Based Approaches to Improve Nutrient Uptake Efficiency in Crops
In the face of global population growth and changing climatic conditions, ensuring food security remains a paramount challenge. Meeting the rising...

A sco** review on tools and methods for trait prioritization in crop breeding programmes
Trait prioritization studies have guided research, development and investment decisions for public-sector crop breeding programmes since the 1970s,...

Trait Variation in American Marsupials Based on Biological Rules
Adaptations to functional demands improve survival and fitness in animals. Depending on the trait, its variation can be related to several different...

Trait driven or neutral: understanding the change in functional trait diversity during early plant succession using Price partitions
Habitat filtering, species interactions and neutral colonization as well as extinction dynamics govern the sequence of community assembly and...

Congruence between vascular plants and bryophytes in response to ecological conditions in sustainably managed temperate forests (taxonomic- and trait-based levels)
Vascular plant species (VP) and bryophytes (B) constitute a significant portion of forest biodiversity and respond to both management intensity and...

High-density genetic map construction and QTL map** of a zigzag-shaped stem trait in tea plant (Camellia sinensis)
The highly unique zigzag-shaped stem phenotype in tea plants boasts significant ornamental value and is exceptionally rare. To investigate the...

TSABL: Trait Specific Annotation Based Locus predictor
BackgroundThe majority of Genome Wide Associate Study (GWAS) loci fall in the non-coding genome, making causal variants difficult to identify and...
-
Intraspecific demographic and trait responses to environmental change drivers are linked in two species of ciliate
BackgroundOver the past decade, theory and observations have suggested intraspecific variation, trait-based differences within species, as a buffer...

Functional trait patterns: investigating variation-covariation relationships and the importance of intraspecific variability along distinct vegetation types
Plants adjust to abiotic conditions by changing their anatomical, morphological, and physiological traits. Traits can vary independently or in an...

Why phylogenetic signal of traits is important in ecosystems: uniformity of a plant trait increases soil fauna, but only in a phylogenetically uniform vegetation
Phylogenetically closely related plant species often share similar trait states (phylogenetic signal), but local assembly may favor dissimilar...
