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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) in the semideciduous Atlantic Forest: An ecological and morphological trait dataset for functional studies
(Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020-03-12)
Background
The semideciduous Atlantic Forest is one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world with a great diversity of spiders. Most spider-related studies in this ecosystem focused on species richness and composition; ...
Morphometric traits as drivers for module structures and species specialization: a study about the hermit crab–gastropod networks from three different regions on the Brazilian coast
(2022-01-01)
The relationship between hermit crabs (Paguroidea) and gastropod shells has attracted the attention of researchers toward a network approach. These networks seem to present recurrent patterns that are often modular, i.e., ...
Optimal strategies for sampling functional traits in species-rich forests
(Wiley, 2015-03)
1. Functional traits provide insight into a variety of ecological questions, yet theoptimal sampling method to estimate the community-level distribution of plantfunctional trait values remains a subject of debate, especially ...
Ecological similarity explains species abundance distribution of small mammal communities
(2020-01-01)
For several decades, ecologists have been trying to explain how species abundance distributions (SAD) emerge within communities. Niche models predict that species habitat requirements and life-history traits determine SADs. ...
