How has crop domestication affected leaf trait networks? Check out our new publication on this led by Dr. Zhangying Lei. doi.org/10.1111/pce.... @ianjwright.bsky.social

Network Architecture of Leaf Trait Correlations Has Shifted Following Crop Domestication
Cultivated crops with faster photosynthetic rate, lower leaf mass per area, and higher leaf nitrogen and phosphorus content tend to fall towards the acquisitive end of the global leaf economics spe...

We were invited to universities of #Londrina and #Curitiba @ufpr.bsky.social from #Brazil to discuss #research and new collaborations Conny Sattler presented #EcolClips Exciting new ideas for more #science communication with Brazilian ecologists. Soon 4 new EcolClips with researchers from both unis

A Functional Basis for the Assembly of Australian Subtropical Rainforest Tree Communities
We surveyed rainforest tree communities across the Australian subtropics (spanning 600 to 2500 mm rainfall year−1) and measured functional traits on 285 (91%) of all recorded species. Hydraulic strat....

If you are at #ESAus24, may I interest you in my talk on "Understanding links between plant allometry, functional traits and the environment using first principles"? 10:30 AM today, Room 103.

Delighted to have the opportunity to write a @newphyt.bsky.social commentary on work by Shubham Chhajed et al. Combining traits approaches with ecophysiology provides new insights on how hydraulic and photosynthetic traits coordinate across species. 🌱🌿 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Transport of water to leaves implies whole‐plant coordination of hydraulic and photosynthetic traits
This article is a Commentary on Chhajed et al. (2024), 244: 1760–1774.

Marking my Bluesky entry by (shamelessly) plugging my recent work showing water storage and allocation strategies in woody plants explain within-site variation in photosynthetic traits. It's based on microeconomic principles and cost-optimization. @ianjwright.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/nph....
