Flowering phenology as a functional trait in a tallgrass prairie.
• The timing of flowering is a critical component of the ecology of plants and has the potential to structure plant communities. Yet, we know little about how the timing of flowering relates to other functional traits, species abundance, and average environmental conditions. • Here, we assessed first flowering dates (FFDs) in a North American tallgrass prairie (Konza Prairie) for 431 herbaceous...
متن کاملFilling the gap in functional trait databases: use of ecological hypotheses to replace missing data
Functional trait databases are powerful tools in ecology, though most of them contain large amounts of missing values. The goal of this study was to test the effect of imputation methods on the evaluation of trait values at species level and on the subsequent calculation of functional diversity indices at community level using functional trait databases. Two simple imputation methods (average a...
متن کاملDiscovering Fuzzy Functional Dependencies as Semantic Knowledge in Large Databases
Fuzzy functional dependency (FFD) is a kind of semantic knowledge and can be discovered from a large volume of business data. Sectional FFD and Attribute FFD are discussed so as to reflect semantics of the business world and express useful information that is natural for people to comprehend. The experimental results on an insurance data set show that the proposed method can extract knowledge e...
متن کاملPromiscuity as a functional trait: intrinsically disordered regions as central players of interactomes.
Because of their pervasiveness in eukaryotic genomes and their unique properties, understanding the role that ID (intrinsically disordered) regions in proteins play in the interactome is essential for gaining a better understanding of the network. Especially critical in determining this role is their ability to bind more than one partner using the same region. Studies have revealed that protein...
متن کاملHerbaria source of new plant species
Herbaria around the world store plant samples collected over the last centuries as dried specimens, typically mounted on cardboard. These specimens, if properly analysed and described scientifically, give an important overview of species-level biodiversity. Estimates indicate that around 80% of the Earth’s flowering plant species have already been described, but where should researchers go look...
