Published in 2024 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11305

Abstract: Abstract Intraspecific variation in plant functional traits and ecological strategies is typically overlooked in most studies despite its pivotal role at the local scales and along short environmental gradients. While CSR theory has been used… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Oikos"

DOI: 10.1002/oik.11235

Abstract: Ecological strategies reflect the mechanisms used for species to sustain a population. Predicting plant growth in ecological communities is crucial, especially with climate change impacting ecosystem functioning. By employing a large dataset for the subtropical… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Ecological Indicators"

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2020.106564

Abstract: Abstract The relationship between plants and phytogenic hillocks in arid ecosystems is receiving increasing attention. Although ecologists have explored the microsystem relationship between plant ecological strategies and phytogenic hillocks, the explanation is still ambiguous due… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Fungal Ecology"

DOI: 10.1016/j.funeco.2019.100902

Abstract: Abstract High-throughput sequencing (e.g., amplicon and shotgun) has provided new insight into the diversity and distribution of fungi around the globe, but developing a framework to understand this diversity has proved challenging. Here we review… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Nature Communications"

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-11757-x

Abstract: The ecological contexts that promote larger brains have received considerable attention, but those that result in smaller-than-expected brains have been largely overlooked. Here, we use a global sample of 2062 species to provide evidence that… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Scientific Reports"

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-52846-7

Abstract: Microbes in subsurface coal seams are responsible for the conversion of the organic matter in coal to methane, resulting in vast reserves of coal seam gas. This process is important from both environmental and economic… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America"

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2008540117

Abstract: Significance Many organisms, including bacteria, live in fluctuating environments that require attachment and dispersal. These lifestyle decisions require processing of multiple external signals by several genetic pathways, but how they are integrated is largely unknown.… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Molecular Biology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msac117

Abstract: Abstract Ecological differentiation among diverging species is an important component of the evolutionary process and can be investigated in rapid and recent radiations. Here, we use whole genome sequences of five species from the genus… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Functional Ecology"

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.14135

Abstract: Abstract Current global challenges call for a rigorously predictive ecology. Our understanding of ecological strategies, imputed through suites of measurable functional traits, comes from decades of work that largely focussed on plants. However, a key… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Austral Ecology"

DOI: 10.1111/aec.70143

Abstract: Understanding how plant functional traits reflect adaptations to different environmental contexts is crucial for predicting vegetation responses to selection pressures imposed by environmental filters. This study examines the functional strategies of woody plants in riparian… read more here.

Published in 2023 at "Ecology letters"

DOI: 10.1111/ele.14224

Abstract: Genomic traits reflect the evolutionary processes that have led to ecological variation among extant organisms, including variation in how they acquire and use resources. Soil fungi have diverse nutritional strategies and exhibit extensive variation in… read more here.
