How do leaf veins influence the worldwide leaf economic spectrum? Review and synthesis
Leaf vein traits are implicated in the determination of gas exchange rates and plant
performance. These traits are increasingly considered as causal factors affecting the 'leaf …

Sensitivity of leaf size and shape to climate: global patterns and paleoclimatic applications
Paleobotanists have long used models based on leaf size and shape to reconstruct
paleoclimate. However, most models incorporate a single variable or use traits that are not …

Intra‐specific and inter‐specific variation in specific leaf area reveal the importance of abiotic and biotic drivers of species diversity across elevation and latitude
Questions Are patterns of intra‐and inter‐specific functional trait variation consistent with
greater abiotic filtering on community assembly at high latitudes and elevations, and greater …

Fire and the spread of flowering plants in the Cretaceous
We suggest that the spread of angiosperms in the Cretaceous was facilitated by novel fire
regimes. Angiosperms were capable of high productivity and therefore accumulated …
