Regeneration: an overlooked aspect of trait‐based plant community assembly models (2016, background): “, high leaf nitrogen, SLA), while species exhibiting high seed mass, wood density, and leaf longevity are more dependent on high rates of survival in lieu of high fecundity (survival-related traits discussed further below) (Adler et al. 2014).”
Risk-taking behavior, urbanization and the pace of life in birds (2018, background): “Although FID has been found to be positively related to certain vital rates in birds, like fecundity (Blumstein 2006; Møller and Garamszegi 2012), the fast-slow continuum is better characterized in the context of the full life cycle of a species (Adler et al. 2014).”
The compadre Plant Matrix Database: an open online repository for plant demography (2015, methodology): “These have addressed key ecological (Buck-ley et al. 2010; Salguero-G (cid:1) omez et al. 2012; Adler et al. 2014), evolutionary (P ﬁ ster 1998; Baudisch et al. 2013; Jones et al. 2014), methodological (Salguero-G (cid:1) omez & Plotkin 2010; Caswell & Salguero-G (cid:1) omez 2013) and conservation…”
Global Root Traits (GRooT) Database (2020, methodology): “Plant traits have been used for describing multiple aspects of plant species’ fitness and realized performance, including growth, survival and reproduction (Adler et al., 2014; Calow, 1987; Díaz et al., 2016; Geber & Griffen, 2003; Grime, 1977; Reich et al., 2003).”
Seven Shortfalls that Beset Large-Scale Knowledge of Biodiversity (2015, background): “Furthermore, although evidence exists that clusters of traits can influence demographic and fitness components (Poorter et al. 2008, Adler et al. 2014), the functional consequences of trait covariation have been poorly studied.”
Species Richness, Forest Structure, and Functional Diversity During Succession in the New Guinea Lowlands (2014, background): “Given changing resource conditions during succession, we expect that secondary tropical forests will move from dominance of species with resource acquisitive strategies to those with resource conservation strategies (Adler et al. 2014).”
The world‐wide ‘fast–slow’ plant economics spectrum: a traits manifesto (2014, background): “In the following sections, I focus on what has been learned about co-variation in leaf economic traits, in other leaf traits and in stem and root traits, and about their variation across local- to macro-scale environmental gradients.”
Scaling from Traits to Ecosystems: Developing a General Trait Driver Theory via Integrating Trait-Based and Metabolic Scaling Theories (2015, background): “This approach has been recently validated with a comparative study linking variation in individual-level traits with variation in life history and demography parameters (Adler et al., 2014).”
