Rubio V, Swenson N
Trends Ecol Evol
. 2023 Sep;
39(1):23-30.
PMID: 37673714
Functional trait variation measured on continuous scales has helped ecologists to unravel important ecological processes. However, forest ecologists have recently moved back toward using functional groups. There are pragmatic and...

Ecol Lett
. 2023 May;
26(7):1212-1222.
PMID: 37162015
Identifying the drivers of community structure and dynamics is a major pursuit in ecology. Emphasis is typically placed on the importance of local scale interactions when attempting to explain these...

Yang J, Swenson N
Ecol Evol
. 2023 Feb;
13(2):e9804.
PMID: 36818529
Forest tree communities are largely structured by interactions between phenotypes and their environments. Functional traits have been popularized as providing key insights into plant functional tradeoffs. Similarly, tree crown-stem diameter...

. 2023 Jan;
131(7):1051-1060.
PMID: 36702550
Background And Aims: Understanding shifts in the demographic and functional composition of forests after major natural disturbances has become increasingly relevant given the accelerating rates of climate change and elevated...

Sci China Life Sci
. 2022 Sep;
65(10):1905-1913.
PMID: 36098896
An important mechanism promoting species coexistence is conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD), which inhibits conspecific neighbors by accumulating host-specific enemies near adult trees. Natural enemies may be genotype-specific and regulate...

Sci China Life Sci
. 2022 Jul;
66(2):376-384.
PMID: 35876972
Plant communities in mountainous areas shift gradually as climatic conditions change with altitude. How trait structure in multivariate space adapts to these varying climates in natural forest stands is unclear....

Biol Open
. 2022 Jul;
11(7).
PMID: 35876379
Lianas, climbing woody plants, influence the structure and function of tropical forests. Climbing traits have evolved multiple times, including ancestral groups such as gymnosperms and pteridophytes, but the genetic basis...

Ecology
. 2022 Mar;
103(6):e3681.
PMID: 35315513
The study of community spatial structure is central to understanding diversity patterns over space and species co-occurrence at local scales. Although most analytical approaches consider horizontal and vertical dimensions separately,...

. 2021 May;
102(7):e03385.
PMID: 33961283
Trait-based approaches have been extensively used in community ecology to provide a mechanistic understanding of the drivers of community assembly. However, a foundational assumption of the trait framework, traits relate...
