Abstract: A plankton eco-evolutionary model with an alga that has the metabolic pathways to allow it to function as an autotroph or heterotroph is considered. Ecological constraints dictate that the traits that describe the feeding preferences… read more here.

Abstract: Species that pass through similar environmental filters, regardless of geographic proximity or evolutionary history, are expected to share many traits, resulting in similar assemblage trait distributions. Convergence of assemblage trait distributions among different biotic regions… read more here.

Abstract: Deciphering the effect of neutral and deterministic processes on community assembly is critical to understand and predict diversity patterns. The information held in community trait distributions is commonly assumed as a signature of these processes,… read more here.

Abstract: In the estimation of item response models, the normality of latent traits is frequently assumed. However, this assumption may be untenable in real testing. In contrast to the conventional three-parameter normal ogive (3PNO) model, a… read more here.
