(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Toads are likely to have been introduced to Qatar, but little information is available on toad populations in the country, including the species present and their probable origin. Therefore, we collected tissue samples for ...
Traditional plant functional groups explain variation in economic but not size-related traits across the tundra biome
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
Aim: Plant functional groups are widely used in community ecology and earth system modelling to describe trait variation within and across plant communities. However, this approach rests on the assumption that functional ...
