Trait and functional trait approaches have revolutionized ecology improving our
understanding of community assembly, species coexistence, and biodiversity loss. Focusing …

There are many sources of uncertainty in scenarios and models of socio-ecological systems,
and understanding these uncertainties is critical in supporting informed decision-making …

Intraspecific trait variation (ITV) is a widespread feature of life, but it is an open question how
ITV affects between‐species coexistence. Recent theoretical studies have produced …

Community-scale surveys of plant drought tolerance are essential for understanding semi-
arid ecosystems and community responses to climate change. Thus, there is a need for an …

Plants are enormously diverse in their traits and ecological adaptation, even within given
ecosystems, such as tropical rainforests. Accounting for this diversity in vegetation models …

Aim The small‐island effect (SIE) describes a different relationship between island area and
species richness on smaller compared to larger islands. The pattern has recently gained …

Water availability is a key determinant of forest ecosystem function and tree species
distributions. While droughts are increasing in frequency in many ecosystems, including in …

It has long been anticipated that relating functional traits to species demography would be a
cornerstone for achieving large-scale predictability of ecological systems. If such a …

It has been observed in high-latitude marine environments of the Southern Hemisphere that
the variability in the ecological patterns of macrobenthic communities show variations at …

Understanding the distribution of biodiversity along environmental gradients allows us to
predict how communities respond to natural and anthropogenic impacts. In fjord …
