Effect of Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity on Invasion Resistance in Restored Tallgrass Prairies

Description:

The question of how native species diversity affects a community’s ability to resist invasive species has inspired decades of research. One of the oldest invasion biology hypotheses is that more species rich ecosystems are less invaded. While there has been strong support for this hypothesis, there is also strong evidence...

Implications of Within-Species Root and Shoot Trait Variation and Plasticity for Species Coexistence

Description:

Understanding the outcomes of interactions from assessing shoot traits has practical applications and has elucidated major ecological patterns. Roots and shoots differ in their functions and can differ in responses to abiotic and biotic stimuli. And while roots are more difficult to characterize because they tangle and are embedded in...
