In forests, trait expression is influenced by tree-tree interactions. Castro Sánchez-Bermejo et al. show how phenotypic variability of tree species decreases with tree diversity and contributes import...

To assess impacts of land-use change on bird diversity, we began by collating surveys from the PREDICTS database, a repository of species occurrence and abundance data sampled across multiple land-use types70. We removed 30 datasets because they lacked abundance data...

Our study reveals that competition fundamentally reshapes trait–growth relationships. Competition simultaneously increases individual trait variability while suppressing growth rates, forcing plants ....

npj Biodiversity - Quantifying the influence of intraspecific variability in trait spaces

Variability in traits within species (intraspecific trait variability; ITV) has attracted increased interest in functional ecology, as it can profoundly influence the detection of functional trait pa....

Projections of extinctions of bird species and losses of functional diversity over the next 100 years suggest that even immediate and widespread threat abatement would be insufficient to prevent losse...

Trait-based ecology, a prominent research field identifying traits linked to the distribution and interactions of organisms and their impact on ecosystem functioning, has flourished in the last three...

A comparison of alpha diversity (number of plant species) and dark diversity (species that are currently absent from a site despite being ecologically suitable) demonstrates the negative effects of re...

We are looking for a 2-year postdoctoral research fellow within the European Research Council project PlantSoilAdapt - “Eco-evolutionary dynamics in plant-soil interactions during land use transition:...

Nature study shows that the potential occurrence of plant species is significantly higher

Many native plants are missing from habitats where they should thrive – even in wilder areas. Why? Human actions such as logging, poaching and setting fires.
