• Which is a better predictor of plant traits: temperature or precipitation? (2014, unknown): “Many ecological traits are known to be correlated with temperature, including leaf nutrient content, leaf mass per unit area and leaf life span (Reich & Oleksyn 2004; Wright et al. 2004), seed mass (Murray et al. 2004) and wood density (Swenson & Enquist 2007).”
• Spatial patterns and climate relationships of major plant traits in the New World differ between woody and herbaceous species (2018, background): “Murray et al. (2004) hypothesized that warmer environments increase metabolic rates, leading to the higher metabolic costs for seedlings and, thus, a need for larger seeds, whereas Moles and Westoby (2003) hypothesized that larger seeds would be favoured under warm and wet conditions due to higher…”

• Population differences in juvenile survival under increasing drought are mediated by seed size in cork oak (Quercus suber L.). (2009, background): “Seed size has been observed to be an adaptive trait associated with environmental variables such as latitude (Yakimowski and Eckert, 2007), altitude (Yamada and Miyaura, 2005), temperature (Murray et al., 2004) and water availability (Parciak, 2002) but also with dispersal strategy and growth form (”
• Taxonomic and biological trait differences of stream macroinvertebrate communities between mediterranean and temperate regions: implications for future climatic scenarios (2007, background): “Differences in morphological, behavioural, and physiological traits of individual species are, thus, common along climatic gradients (Chapin & Chapin, 1981; Murray et al., 2004; Thuiller et al., 2004) (i.”
• Geographic variation in seed mass within and among nine species of Pedicularis (Orobanchaceae): effects of elevation, plant size and seed number per fruit (2010, background): “…Hodkinson et al. 1998; Bond, Honig & Maze 1999; Eriksson, Friis & Lofgren 2000), limited water availability (Baker 1972; Leishman & Westoby 1994; Murray et al. 2004; but see also Mazer 1989; Wright & Westoby 1999), other limited resources (Jurado & Westoby 1992;Westoby, Leishman&Lord 1996),…”
