Moving beyond the guild concept: develo** a practical functional trait framework for terrestrial beetles
1. New logical and analytical frameworks for studying functional traits have led to major
advances in plant and freshwater ecology at local and global scales. The ecological and …

Differential soil fungus accumulation and density dependence of trees in a subtropical forest
The mechanisms underlying interspecific variation in conspecific negative density
dependence (CNDD) are poorly understood. Using a multilevel modeling approach, we …

Imputation of missing data in life‐history trait datasets: which approach performs the best?
Despite efforts in data collection, missing values are commonplace in life‐history trait
databases. Because these values typically are not missing randomly, the common practice …

Similarity of introduced plant species to native ones facilitates naturalization, but differences enhance invasion success
The search for traits associated with plant invasiveness has yielded contradictory results, in
part because most previous studies have failed to recognize that different traits are important …
