Species-specific traits affect bird species’ susceptibility to global change
The current ecological crisis has risen extinction rates to similar levels of ancient mass extinctions. However, it seems to not be acting uniformly...
-
Quantitative Traits
Quantitative traits are determined by variation at multiple polygenes and the environment. In this chapter, FORTUNA is modified to allow simulation...
-
Joint multivariate and functional modeling for plant traits and reflectances
The investigation of leaf-level traits in response to varying environmental conditions has immense importance for understanding plant ecology. Remote...

Species traits and latitude mediate bird responses to forest edges globally
ContextAlthough local studies comparing species abundance between forest edges and interiors are common, general patterns in the response of...

Genetic architecture and QTL selection response for Kernza perennial grain domestication traits
Key messageAnalysis of multi-year breeding program data revealed that the genetic architecture of an intermediate wheatgrass population was highly...
-
Isopod mouthpart traits respond to a tropical forest recovery gradient
Functional trait ecology has the potential to provide generalizable and mechanistic predictions of ecosystem function from data of species...

Changes in polyphenolic composition, physiological characteristics, and yield-related traits of Moshgak (Ducrosia anethifolia Boiss.) populations in response to drought stress
AbstractDucrosia anethifolia (DC.) Boiss. is an aromatic medicinal plant that has been traditionally used as an analgesic to treat headaches,...

Disturbance alters phytoplankton functional traits and consequently drives changes in zooplankton life-history traits and lipid composition
In the light of the current biodiversity crisis that affects in particular freshwater ecosystems, it is crucial to understand the effects of...

Resistance not resilience traits structure macroinvertebrate communities in newly drying stream sections
Transitioning from perennial to non-perennial flow regimes causes ecological shifts in aquatic communities. Aquatic macroinvertebrates deploy...
-
Phenotypic plasticity of fungal traits in response to moisture and temperature
Phenotypic plasticity of traits is commonly measured in plants to improve understanding of organismal and ecosystem responses to climate change but...
-
Species-specific traits mediate avian demographic responses under past climate change
Anticipating species’ responses to environmental change is a pressing mission in biodiversity conservation. Despite decades of research investigating...
-
Maize, wheat, and soybean root traits depend upon soil phosphorus fertility and mycorrhizal status
Strong effects of plant identity, soil nutrient availability or mycorrhizal fungi on root traits have been well documented, but their interactive...

The response of two nutrient acquisition strategies: root traits and leaf nutrient resorption and their relationships to long-term mowing in a temperate steppe
PurposeMowing may exert profound influences on nutrient acquisition strategies of herbaceous species due to the nutrient removal along with the mown...
