Identifying copepod functional groups from species functional traits
We gathered information on the functional traits of the most representative copepod species in the Mediterranean Sea. Our database includes 191 species described by 7 traits encompassing diverse ecological functions: minimal and maximal body length, trophic group, feeding type, spawning strategy, diel vertical migration and vertical habitat. Cluster analysis in the functional trait space reveal...

متن کاملConfronting species distribution model predictions with species functional traits
Species distribution models are valuable tools in studies of biogeography, ecology, and climate change and have been used to inform conservation and ecosystem management. However, species distribution models typically incorporate only climatic variables and species presence data. Model development or validation rarely considers functional components of species traits or other types of biologica...
متن کاملPlant species and functional groups response to exclosure in Lazour rangeland of Tehran province
The study of vegetation dynamics under grazed and non-grazed rangelands is one of the most important prerequisites for range improvement. In this research, vegetation composition and the vegetation functional groups were compared in an exclosure site (livestock excluded for six years) and grazed area in semi-steppe rangelands in Tehran province. Systematic random sampling technique through the...
متن کامل"Diminishing returns" in the scaling of functional leaf traits across and within species groups.
More than 5,000 measurements from 1,943 plant species were used to explore the scaling relationships among the foliar surface area and the dry, water, and nitrogen/phosphorus mass of mature individual leaves. Although they differed statistically, the exponents for the relationships among these variables were numerically similar among six species groups (ferns, graminoids, forbs, shrubs, trees, ...
