The paper uses high-resolution multispectral imagery to show that spectral diversity can approximate functional diversity patterns in coastal dune plant communities across different spatial scales.

funspace is an R package that simplifies building, analyzing, and visualizing functional trait spaces using bivariate and PCA-based methods.

The paper evaluates trait diversity metrics' robustness to data incompleteness using simulated missing data and imputation methods, finding that imputation improves reliability even with high missingness.

The paper examines global plant population stability by linking trait trade-offs to inter-annual variability in species abundance across multiple ecosystems.

The paper assesses functional diversity loss in turtles and crocodilians due to anthropogenic threats, finding habitat disturbance causes twice the functional diversity loss compared to other threats.

The paper introduces a new measure, the Phenotypic Dissimilarity Index (PhD), to better quantify phenotypic variation by accounting for within-population trait variability and provides an R function for its calculation.

The paper assesses how past and recent human impacts affect tetrapod diversity using a multifaceted index, showing that historical agricultural expansion has had a significant legacy effect on biodiversity.

The paper assesses how intraspecific trait variability affects functional diversity indices and ecological inferences across plant and ant communities.

This study shows that mycorrhizal symbiosis induces both within- and transgenerational phenotypic plasticity in plants under drought stress, improving their ability to cope with environmental stress.

The paper maps extinction risk across global functional spectra of species, finding that larger, slower-living species are more threatened and their loss would cause significant reorganization in ecological strategies.

This paper introduces a hypergeometric-based method to estimate probabilistic dark diversity, outperforming existing methods in simulations and real datasets.
