Seed germination traits can contribute better to plant community ecology
(2016-05-01)
Analyses of functional traits have become fundamental tools for understanding patterns and processes in plant community ecology. In this context, regenerative seed traits play an important, yet overlooked, role because ...
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 ...
A research agenda for seed-trait functional ecology
(2019-03-01)
Trait-based approaches have improved our understanding of plant evolution, community assembly and ecosystem functioning. A major challenge for the upcoming decades is to understand the functions and evolution of early ...
The complex plant commnities of the campo rupestre habitats untalgled by trait-based approach
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisBrasilICB - INSTITUTO DE CIÊNCIAS BIOLOGICASPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia, Conservacao e Manejo da Vida SilvestreUFMG, 2020-02-27)
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 ...
Leaf herbivory modulates fruit trait correlations within individual plants
(Springer, 2020-06)
Plant performance is based on the relationship between resource acquisition and allocation to complete essential functions. Herbivory causes compromises in resource allocation that impact at the plant and within-plant ...
Trait-Based Assessments of Climate-Change Impacts on Interacting Species
(Elsevier Science London, 2020-01-24)
Plant–animal interactions are fundamentally important in ecosystems, but have often been ignored by studies of climate-change impacts on biodiversity. Here, we present a trait-based framework for predicting the responses ...
Trait contributions to fish community assembly emerge from trophic interactions in an individual-based model
(2013-02-04)
Community ecology seeks to understand and predict the characteristics of communities that can develop under different environmental conditions, but most theory has been built on analytical models that are limited in the ...

Community ecology seeks to understand and predict the characteristics of communities that can develop under different environmental conditions, but most theory has been built on analytical models that are limited in the ...
Phylogenies and traits provide distinct insights about the historical and contemporary assembly of aquatic insect communities
(2016-05-01)
The assumption that traits and phylogenies can be used as proxies of species niche has faced criticisms. Evidence suggested that phylogenic relatedness is a weak proxy of trait similarity. Moreover, different processes can ...
