DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1132
Abstract: PREMISE OF STUDY The plant size-trait relationship is a fundamental dimension in the spectrum of plant form and function. However, it remains unclear whether the trait scaling relationship within species is modified by tree size.… read more here.

Patterns of leaf trait variation underlie ecological differences among sympatric tree species of Damburneya in a tropical rainforest

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16056
Abstract: Abstract Premise Although ecological differentiation driven by altitude and soil is hypothesized to promote coexistence of sympatric tree species of Damburneya (Lauraceae), the mechanistic role of leaf functional variation on ecological differentiation among co‐occurring species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16167
Abstract: PREMISE OF THE STUDY Continental-scale leaf trait studies can help explain how plants survive in different environments, but large datasets are costly to assemble at this scale. Automating the measurement of digitized herbarium collections could… read more here.

Quantitative trait locus mapping reveals an independent genetic basis for joint divergence in leaf function, life-history, and floral traits between scarlet monkeyflower (Mimulus cardinalis) populations.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1660
Abstract: PREMISE Across taxa, vegetative and floral traits that vary along a fast-slow life-history axis are often correlated with leaf functional traits arrayed along the leaf economics spectrum, suggesting a constrained set of adaptive trait combinations.… read more here.

A comparison of self‐report and discrepancy measures of camouflaging: Exploring sex differences in diagnosed autistic versus high autistic trait young adults
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Autism Research"
DOI: 10.1002/aur.2873
Abstract: Camouflaging describes masking or compensating for autistic traits and/or related difficulties. Some evidence suggests autistic females camouflage more than autistic males, potentially contributing to delayed or missed diagnosis. Studies predominantly adopt self‐report measures of camouflaging,… read more here.

The reciprocal relationship between episodic memory and future thinking: How the outcome of predictions is subsequently remembered
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Brain and Behavior"
DOI: 10.1002/brb3.2603
Abstract: Evidence suggests that memory is involved in making simulations and predictions about the future (i.e., future thinking), but less work has examined how the outcome of those predictions (whether events play out as predicted or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10000
Abstract: Abstract Associating morphological features with ecological traits is essential for understanding the connection between organisms and their roles in the environment. If applied successfully, functional trait approaches link form and function in an organism. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10016
Abstract: Abstract Trait‐based approaches elucidate the mechanisms underlying biodiversity response to, or effects on, the environment. Nevertheless, the Raunkiæran shortfall—the dearth of knowledge on species traits and their functionality—presents a challenge in the application of these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2780
Abstract: Abstract The ecological niche is a multi‐dimensional concept including aspects of resource use, environmental tolerance, and interspecific interactions, and the degree to which niches overlap is central to many ecological questions. Plant phenotypic traits are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3447
Abstract: Abstract The worldwide plant economic spectrum hypothesis predicts that leaf, stem, and root traits are correlated across vascular plant species because carbon gain depends on leaves being adequately supplied with water and nutrients, and because… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Functional traits determine the occurrence of species along environmental gradients and their coexistence with other species. Understanding how traits evolved among coexisting species helps to infer community assembly processes. We propose fatty acid composition… read more here.
