Plant intraspecific trait variation correlates positively with species? niche breadth
(2017)
It is assumed that widespread, generalist species have high phenotypic
variation, but we know little about how intraspecific trait variation (ITV)
relates to species abundance and niche breadth. In the temperate
rainforest ...
Comparing taxon- and trait-environment relationships in stream communities
(2020-10-01)
Traits define how organisms interact with their surrounding environment and with other organisms. Thus, trait composition of biological communities is expected to change predictably along environmental gradients. Because ...
Multi-trait GWAS using imputed high-density genotypes from whole-genome sequencing identifies genes associated with body traits in Nile tilapia
(BMC, 2021)
Background: Body traits are generally controlled by several genes in vertebrates (i.e. polygenes), which in turn
make them difficult to identify through association mapping. Increasing the power of association studies ...
Strength of niche processes for species interactions is lower for generalists and exotic species
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-06)
Niche and neutral processes jointly influence species interactions. Predictions of interactions based on these processes assume that they operate similarly across all species. However, species characteristics could ...
Bimodal trait distributions with large variances question the reliability of trait-based aggregate models
(Springer, 2016-12-01)
Functionally diverse communities can adjust their species composition to altered environmental conditions, which may influence food web dynamics. Trait-based aggregate models cope with this complexity by ignoring details ...
Pinus contorta invasion into treeless steppe reduces species richness and alters species traits of the local community
(Springer, 2016)
Pinus contorta, one of the most invasive tree species in the world, has been proposed as a model species for improving our understanding of invasion ecology. In this study, we assessed the impact of P. contorta invasions ...
Leaf traits combinations may explain the occurrence of savanna herbaceous species along a gradient of tree encroachment
(2017-09-01)
In savanna environments, plants have specific leaf traits to deal with high irradiance. These traits allow plants to show high carbon assimilation capacity. However, under encroachment, reduced light availability may act ...
Dataset of occurrences and ecological traits of amphibians from Upper Paraguay River Basin, central South America
(Pensoft Publishers, 2020-09-02)
There are many gaps in our biodiversity knowledge, especially in highly diverse regions such as the Neotropics. Basic information on species occurrence and traits are scattered throughout different literature sources, which ...
FungalTraits: a user-friendly traits database of fungi and fungus-like stramenopiles
(2021-01-19)
The cryptic lifestyle of most fungi necessitates molecular identification of the guild in environmental studies. Over the past decades, rapid development and affordability of molecular tools have tremendously improved ...
