A multi‐trait approach reveals the structure and the relative importance of intra‐ vs. interspecific variability in plant traitsFunctional Ecology - Tập 24 Số 6 - Trang 1192-1201 - 2010
Cécile H. Albert, Wilfried Thuiller, Nigel G. Yoccoz, Rolland Douzet, S. Aubert, Sandra Lavorel
Summary 1. Functional traits have been extensively used to describe, group and rank species according to their functions. There is now growing evidence that intraspecific functional variability, as well as interspecific variability, can have significant effects on community dynamics and ecosystem functioning. A core hypothesis for the use of ...... hiện toàn bộ
Scale‐specific spatial density dependence in parasitoids: a multi‐factor meta‐analysisFunctional Ecology - Tập 30 Số 9 - Trang 1501-1510 - 2016
Richard M. Gunton, Juha Pöyry
Summary
Within a landscape, the risk of an insect being attacked by a parasitoid varies with the local density of the host species. This relationship should be strongest when observed at medium extents and resolutions with respect to parasitoids’ foraging range, and turn negative at fine resolutions. The relationship is also hyp...... hiện toàn bộ
Differential plasticity of metabolic rate phenotypes in a tropical fish facing environmental changeFunctional Ecology - Tập 30 Số 3 - Trang 369-378 - 2016
Tommy Norin, Hans Malte, Timothy D. Clark
Summary
Individual differences in metabolic rate have been linked with variations in behaviour and key life‐history traits and can affect ecological patterns within animal populations. Yet, almost nothing is known of the plasticity of the metabolic response under dynamically changing conditions that are representative of the nat...... hiện toàn bộ
