Abstract: Abstract For 10,000 years humans have altered plant traits through domestication and ongoing crop improvement, shaping plant form and function in agroecosystems. To date, studies have focused on how these processes shape whole‐plant or average… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-47295-4
Abstract: Theory suggests that intraspecific trait variability may promote species coexistence when competitively inferior species have higher intraspecific trait variability than their superior competitors. Here, we provide empirical evidence for this phenomenon in tree seedlings. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcaa067
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Non-native plant species are not restricted to lowlands, but increasingly invade high elevations. While we expected for both native and non-native species variability of plant functional traits due to the changing environmental… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.13402
Abstract: Considering intraspecific trait variability (ITV) in ecological studies has improved our understanding of species persistence and coexistence. These advances are based on the growing number of leaf ITV studies over local gradients, but logistical constraints… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/fwb.13028
Abstract: During the last couple of decades, invasive species have become a worldwide problem in many freshwater systems. Besides higher plants and animals, microbes, in particular the potentially toxic cyanobacterium Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, has attracted increasing attention,… read more here.
