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...

“Ectomycorrhizal exploration type” could be a functional trait explaining the spatial distribution of tree symbiotic fungi as a function of forest humus forms
In European forests, most tree species form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal (EM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The EM fungi are classified...

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...

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...

Multi-trait GWAS for diverse ancestries: map** the knowledge gap
BackgroundApproximately 95% of samples analyzed in univariate genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are of European ancestry. This bias toward...
