The biology and ecology of narrow endemic and widespread plants: a comparative study of trait variation in 20 congeneric pairs (2004, background): “…of genetic differences resulting from natural selection as a cause of at least part of the variation in ecophysiological and reproductive traits observed in natural conditions (Piper et al. 1986, Dijkstra and Lambers 1989, Lambers and Poorter 1992, Mione and Anderson 1992, Ackerly et al. 2000).”
Phylogenetic approaches in comparative physiology (2005, background): “Our enthusiasm for phylogenetic approaches in comparative physiology should not be taken to imply, however, that we think they are more important than other approaches, such as measurement of selection acting in natural populations, experimental evolution (e.g. see Garland and Carter, 1994; Bennett ”
Environmental Heterogeneity and Population Differentiation in Plasticity to Drought in Convolvulus Chilensis (Convolvulaceae) (2005, background): “The pattern of environmental variation may influence the divergence among plant populations in the plasticity of traits (Galloway, 1995; Ackerly et al., 2000; Weinig, 2000).”
Local adaptation of the clonal plant Ranunculus reptans to flooding along a small‐scale gradient (2004, background): “…of flooding in both microhabitats, the lack of adaptive (between-microhabitat) genetic differentiation in these physiological traits probably reflects strong selection in the past against genotypes with phenotypic values below the range of phenotypes currently found (Ackerly et al. 2000).”
Why functional ecology should consider all plant organs: An allocation-based perspective (2015, background): “…we cannot cover genetic and evelopmental processes contributing to the expression of lant organs or evolutionary constraints of ecological funcion (Ackerly et al. 2000; Murren 2002; Moles et al. 2005). he main point of this paper is that biomass allocation studies sually address relationships…”
Ecophysiological traits of plant functional groups in forest and pasture ecosystems from eastern Amazônia, Brazil (2007, background): “have a strong influence over parameter ranges allowing simple relationships to be established (Reich et al. 1997; Ackerly et al. 2000; Domingues et al. 2005).”
Effects of a simulated heat wave on photophysiology and gene expression of high- and low-latitude populations of Zostera marina (2011, background): “…that measurements are taken in a controlled environment (i.e. a common mesocosm setup), such comparisons could identify heritable differences in ecophysiological traits (Ackerly et al. 2000) that are likely to be important under a changing climate (Jump & Penuelas 2005, Millien et al. 2006).”
Let the concept of trait be functional (2007, methodology): “To simplify the concept, we propose to define a functional trait as any M-P-P trait which impacts fitness indirectly via its effects on performance traits (Fig.”
Plant Phenotypic Plasticity in Response to Environmental Factors (2014, background): “Since phenotypic plasticity influences environmental tolerance, different plastic responses may contribute to differences in the range of environments that species inhabit [15].”
The Evolution of Plant Functional Variation: Traits, Spectra, and Strategies (2003, background): “1058-5893/2003/16403S-0011$15.00”
Ecophysiological determinants of plant performance under flooding: a comparative study of seven plant families (2006, background): “However, these comparisons often focused on one trait, thereby possibly ignoring relationships with other traits (Ackerly et al. 2000).”
Phylogenies and Community Ecology (2002, methodology): “Phylogenies are being used extensively in the larger field of evolutionary ecology (see Miles & Dunham 1993, Miller & Wenzel 1995, Ackerly et al. 2000), so we limit our review to studies and concepts explicitly relating to the phylogenetic and taxonomic structure of local communities.”
RELATING PLANT TRAITS AND SPECIES DISTRIBUTIONS ALONG BIOCLIMATIC GRADIENTS FOR 88 LEUCADENDRON TAXA (2004, background): “We can also not exclude confounding phylogenetic effects that might hide a general relationship between plant height and climatic distribution (Ackerly et al. 2000), although the likelihood is low due to the group’s monophylly.”
On the Relevance and Control of Leaf Angle (2010, background): “Altered phenotypes can be environmentally induced or achieved by means of mutants or transgenics (e.g., Schmitt et al., 1999; Ackerly et al., 2000; Pierik et al., 2003).”
