Bringing light onto the Raunkiæran shortfall: A comprehensive review of traits used in functional animal ecology
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"
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.

Integrating trait‐based empirical and modeling research to improve ecological restoration
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4043
Abstract: Abstract A global ecological restoration agenda has led to ambitious programs in environmental policy to mitigate declines in biodiversity and ecosystem services. Current restoration programs can incompletely return desired ecosystem service levels, while resilience of… read more here.

Topography and disturbance influence trait‐based composition and productivity of adjacent habitats in a coastal system
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.3139
Abstract: Coastal systems experience frequent disturbance and multiple environmental stressors over short spatial and temporal scales. Investigating functional traits in coastal systems has the potential to inform how variation in disturbance frequency and environmental variables influence… read more here.

Functional trait‐based approaches as a common framework for aquatic ecologists
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Limnology and Oceanography"
DOI: 10.1002/lno.11655
Abstract: Aquatic ecologists face challenges in identifying the general rules of the functioning of ecosystems. A common framework, including freshwater, marine, benthic, and pelagic ecologists, is needed to bridge communication gaps and foster knowledge sharing. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00338-021-02077-y
Abstract: Ecosystems worldwide are becoming increasingly altered by environmental stress, yet little is known about how acute disturbances affect ecological communities that already persist under chronically stressful environmental conditions. Here, we use a trait-based approach to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11218-019-09515-4
Abstract: Professionals in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) are often stereotyped as geniuses and nerds (e.g., socially awkward). These stereotypes may demotivate some individuals from pursuing or remaining in STEM. However, these beliefs may enhance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aquabot.2017.06.002
Abstract: Abstract Trait-based community assembly analysis, which links the plant traits to the variation of community composition along environmental gradients, has potential to improve the understanding of the impacts of eutrophication on macrophytes and responding process.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2021.107692
Abstract: Abstract The physical impact of bottom towed fishing gears does not only reduce the abundance and biomass of species, but also alter the overall species composition and, through this, the functioning of benthic communities. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/iop.2019.36
Abstract: The growing support for the merging of “normal” and “abnormal” personality conceptualizations within the field of applied psychology has culminated in the adoption of the five-factor model (FFM) of personality within the DSM-V as part… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.0071
Abstract: Trait-based approaches are increasingly recognized as a tool for understanding ecosystem re-assembly and function under intensifying global change. Here we synthesize trait-based research globally (n = 865 studies) to examine the contexts in which traits… read more here.
