Best practices, errors, and perspectives of half a century of plant translocation in ItalyNARA Subscribed
Conservation translocations are becoming common conservation practice, so there is an increasing need to understand the drivers of plant translocation performance through reviews of cases at global and regional levels. The establishment of the Italian Database of Plant Translocation (IDPlanT) provides the opportunity to review the techniques used in 186 plant translocation cases performed in the last 50 years in the heart of t...
Phenotypic dissimilarity index: Correcting for intra‐ and interindividual variability when quantifying phenotypic variationNARA Subscribed
In trait‐based ecology, phenotypic variation (PVar) is often quantified with measures expressing average differences between populations standardized in the range 0–1. However, these measures disregard the within‐population trait variability. In addition, some of them cannot be partitioned between populations. These aspects can either alter their interpretation or limit their applicability. To overcome these problems, we propo...
Spatial and host related genomic variation in partially sympatric cactophagous moth speciesNARA Subscribed
Surveys of patterns of genetic variation in natural sympatric and allopatric populations of recently diverged species are necessary to understand the processes driving intra‐ and interspecific diversification. The South American moths Cactoblastis cactorum , Cactoblastis doddi and Cactoblastis bucyrus are specialized in the use of cacti as host plants. These species have partially different geographic ranges and differ in patt...
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...
Native ecotypic variation and the role of host identity in the spread of an invasive herbivore, Cactoblastis cactorumNARA Subscribed
Environmental niche models (ENMs) have gained enormous popularity as tools to investigate potential changes in species distributions resulting from climate change and species introductions. Despite recognition that species interactions can influence the dynamics of invasion spread, most implementations of ENMs focus on abiotic factors as the sole predictors of potential range limits. Implicit in this approach is the assumption...
