Understanding, modeling, and predicting the impact of global change on ecosystem
functioning across biogeographical gradients can benefit from enhanced capacity to …

Macroclimatic variation along latitudinal gradients provides an excellent natural laboratory to
investigate the role of temperature and the potential impacts of climate warming on terrestrial …

We introduce the AusTraits database-a compilation of values of plant traits for taxa in the
Australian flora (hereafter AusTraits). AusTraits synthesises data on 448 traits across 28,640 …

Question Are plant traits more closely correlated with mean annual temperature, or with
mean annual precipitation? Location Global. Methods We quantified the strength of the …

The number of published meta‐analyses in plant ecology has increased greatly over the last
two decades. Meta‐analysis has made a significant contribution to the field, allowing review …

Abstract Changes in marine plankton communities driven by environmental variability
impact the marine food web and global biogeochemical cycles of carbon and other …

One of the most well-supported theories regarding the evolution of plant defenses is the
resource availability hypothesis (RAH). RAH posits that species from high-resource …

Biological invasions provide opportunities to study evolutionary processes occurring over
contemporary timescales. To explore the speed and repeatability of adaptation, we …

Global warming is predicted to dramatically alter communities' composition through
differential colonization abilities, such as between sessile plants and their mobile …

There is increasing evidence that geographic and climatic clines drive the patterns of plant
defence allocation and defensive strategies. We quantified early growth rate and both …
