Realm Specific Adaptations Lead to Contrasting Global Patterns in Submerged and Emergent Aquatic Plant HeightNARA Subscribed
Aim This study aims to evaluate whether the trait–environment relationships known for terrestrial plant height extend to freshwater macrophytes, and to identify the primary environmental factors influencing global height patterns in emergent and fully submerged aquatic plants. Location Global. Time Period Species occurrence records and height measurements compiled from 1931 to 2022. Major Taxa Studied Freshwater plant species....
Aim This study aims to understand how biological traits, human‐induced threats, and species popularity interact to influence the extinction risk of bird species globally. We seek to improve the accuracy of extinction risk assessments and inform conservation strategies. Location Global. Time Period Current. Major Taxa Studied Birds. Methods We predict extinction risk for bird species globally based on relevant biological traits...
Aim To investigate how trait correlations between life stages associated with complex life cycles (aquatic nymph and terrestrial adult) shape the functional diversity and trait–environment relationships of European dragonflies (Odonata: Anisoptera). Location European mainland. Time Period Pre‐1990 and post‐1990. Major Taxa Studied Dragonflies (Odonata: Anisoptera). Methods Based on functional traits linked to dispersal and mic...

Machine learning techniques to characterize functional traits of plankton from image dataNARA Subscribed
Plankton imaging systems supported by automated classification and analysis have improved ecologists' ability to observe aquatic ecosystems. Today, we are on the cusp of reliably tracking plankton populations with a suite of lab‐based and in situ tools, collecting imaging data at unprecedentedly fine spatial and temporal scales. But these data have potential well beyond examining the abundances of different taxa; the individua...
A decade of neonatal sepsis caused by gram-negative bacilli—a retrospective matched cohort studyNARA Subscribed
This study is to determine the incidence and outcome of neonatal gram-negative bacilli (GNB) sepsis in Stockholm, Sweden, and describe bacterial characteristics. This is a retrospective cohort study. All infants with GNB-sepsis between 2006 and 2016 were included and matched with two control groups, with suspected sepsis and uninfected neonates, respectively. Outcome was death before discharge, risk of death within 5 days afte...
Equilibrium in plant functional trait responses to warming is stronger under higher climate variability during the HoloceneNARA Subscribed
Aim The functional trait composition of plant communities is thought to be determined largely by climate, but relationships between contemporary trait distributions and climate are often weak. Spatial mismatches between trait and climatic conditions are commonly thought to arise from disequilibrium responses to past environmental changes. We aimed to investigate whether current trait–climate disequilibrium is likely to emerge...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
Freshwater ecosystems are among the most endangered habitats on Earth, with thousands of animal species known to be threatened or already extinct. Reliable monitoring of threatened organisms is crucial for data‐driven conservation actions but remains a challenge owing to nonstandardized methods that depend on practical and taxonomic expertise, which is rapidly declining. Here, we show that a diversity of rare and threatened fr...
Evidence for transmission between humans and the environment of a nosocomial strain of Enterococcus faeciumNARA Subscribed
Summary An ampicillin‐ and ciprofloxacin‐resistant Enterococcus faecium (ARE) strain, named FMSE1, with a characteristic biochemical phenotype, was in a recent study found to dominate among faecal ARE isolates from patients in several Swedish hospitals. In the present study, the prevalence of this strain among 9676 enterococcal isolates from healthy children, hospital sewage, urban sewage, surface water, slaughtered animals (b...
