• Scaling from Traits to Ecosystems: Developing a General Trait Driver Theory via Integrating Trait-Based and Metabolic Scaling Theories (2015, result): “In contrast, several recent studies have measured traits within communities to assess community-level trait shifts (Albert et al., 2010; Gaucherand and Lavorel, 2007; Hulshof et al., 2013; Lavorel et al., 2008).”
• Spatial patterns and climate relationships of major plant traits in the New World differ between woody and herbaceous species (2018, unknown): “The mean specific leaf area of both woody and herbaceous species decreases with decreasing temperature and with decreasing precipitation (consistent with empirical findings of Hulshof et al., 2013; S ımov a et al., 2015; Swenson et al., 2012).”
• A global meta-analysis of the relative extent of intraspecific trait variation in plant communities. (2015, unknown): “Community-level ITV has rarely been measured across broad climatic gradients (but see Hulshof et al. 2013), so these hypotheses remain largely untested.”
• Interspecific integration of trait dimensions at local scales: the plant phenotype as an integrated network (2017, unknown): “The trait-based approach has been widely adopted in community ecology, with single traits measured at local scales commonly interpreted in the context of trait dimensions (e.g. Jung et al. 2010; Falster et al. 2011; Long et al. 2011; Hulshof et al. 2013; Niu et al. 2015).”
• Spatial scale and intraspecific trait variability mediate assembly rules in alpine grasslands (2017, result): “In agreement with previous studies (de Bello et al. 2013; Hulshof et al. 2013), we found that communities tended to be more functionally convergent in sites at upper elevations experiencing a brief snow-free period.”
