Fleshy fruits of angiosperms are organs specialized for promoting seed dispersal by
attracting herbivores and enticing them to consume the organ and the seeds it contains …

Lineage‐specific traits determine how plants interact with their surrounding environment.
Unrelated species may evolve similar phenotypic characteristics to tolerate, persist in, and …

The evolution of annual or perennial strategies in flowering plants likely depends on a broad
array of temperature and precipitation variables. Previous documented climate life‐history …

Aim To investigate the geographic patterns and ecological correlates in the geographic
distribution of the most common tree dispersal modes in Amazonia (endozoochory …

Climbers germinate on the ground but need external support to sustain their stems, which
are maintained attached to supports through modified organs, that is, climbing mechanisms …

The correlated evolution of multiple characters is a crucial aspect of evolutionary change. If
change in a particular character influences the evolution of a separate trait, then modeling …

Aim The equator‐to‐poles decline in the number of species, namely the latitudinal diversity
gradient (LDG), is the most conspicuous pattern in biology, yet the underlying mechanisms …

Main conclusion Environmental DNA-based monitoring provides critical insights for
enhancing our understanding of plant–animal interactions in the context of worldwide …

The correlation between two characters is often interpreted as evidence that there exists a
significant and biologically important relationship between them. However, Maddison and …

Community trait assembly, the formation of distributions of phenotypic characteristics across
coexisting species, can occur via two main processes: filtering of trait distributions from the …
