DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2614
Abstract: For the majority of plant species in the world, we know little about their functional ecology, and not even one of the most basic traits-the species' growth habit. To fill the gap in availability of… read more here.

The influence of growth form and substrate on lichen ecophysiological responses along an aridity gradient
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Environmental Science and Pollution Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s11356-017-9361-2
Abstract: In this paper, we investigated whether growth form and substrate in lichens influence their physiological responses along an aridity gradient. Thalli of the foliose lichen Parmotrema perlatum and the fruticose lichen Ramalina canariensis were transplanted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envexpbot.2017.07.005
Abstract: Abstract By fluorescence imaging, we quantified how hydration traits and thallus size determine the duration of photosynthetic activity during drying in light and darkness for sympatric populations of three epiphytic old forest cephalolichens differing in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mod.2017.03.006
Abstract: Tissues are thought to behave like fluids with a given surface tension. Differences in tissue surface tension (TST) have been proposed to trigger cell sorting and tissue envelopment. D'Arcy Thompson in his seminal book 'On… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mod.2017.05.001
Abstract: Published in 1917, “On Growth and Form” was the culmination of over twenty years of thought by the Scottish bio-mathematician, D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson, about the relationship between living things and physical phenomena. One striking aspect… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/1.5125688
Abstract: When a small amount of liquid is quickly injected into another liquid with similar density, the fluid jet usually does not propagate very far. However, when the two solutions chemically react to form a flexible… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.12926
Abstract: Understanding the functional economics that drives plant investment of resources requires investigating the interface between plant phenotypes and the variation in ecological conditions. While allocation to defence represents a large portion of the carbon budget,… read more here.

DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.592.3.3
Abstract: Representatives of Kalanchoe (Crassulaceae subfam. Kalanchooideae) are well-known for having evolved a range of reproductive mechanisms, at least some of which have contributed to certain species and nothospecies having become weeds in places remote from… read more here.
