Scientific floras can be reliable sources for some trait data in a system with poor coverage in global trait databases (2021)
Journal Article
Cutts, V., Hanz, D. M., Barajas-Barbosa, M. P., Algar, A. C., Steinbauer, M. J., Irl, S. D. H., …Field, R. (2021). Scientific floras can be reliable sources for some trait data in a system with poor coverage in global trait databases. Journal of Vegetation Science, 32(3), Article e12996. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvs.12996

Aim:
Trait‐based approaches are increasingly important in ecology and biogeography, but progress is often hampered by the availability of high‐quality quantitative trait data collected in the field. Alternative sources of trait information include... Read More about Scientific floras can be reliable sources for some trait data in a system with poor coverage in global trait databases.

Journal Article
Bruelheide, H., Dengler, J., Jiménez-Alfaro, B., Purschke, O., Hennekens, S. M., Chytrý, M., …and other 116 authors. (2019). sPlot : a new tool for global vegetation analyses. Journal of Vegetation Science, 30(2), 161-186. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvs.12710

Questions: Vegetation-plot records provide information on presence and cover or abundance of plants co-occurring in the same community. Vegetation-plot data are spread across research groups, environmental agencies and biodiversity research centers,... Read More about sPlot : a new tool for global vegetation analyses.

Does daily climate variation have an effect on species’ elevational range size? (2017)
Journal Article
Qian, H., Field, R., Zhang, J., & Zhang, Y. (2017). Does daily climate variation have an effect on species’ elevational range size?. Journal of Biogeography, 44(10), 2432-2436. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.13065

In their recent paper published in Science (2016, 351, 1437–1439), Chan et al. analysed 137 montane gradients, concluding that they found a novel pattern—a negative relationship between mean elevational range size of species and daily temperature var...
