Herbs are different: clonal and bud bank traits can matter more than leaf-height-seed traits.
Current understanding of functional differences among plant species is based on several key axes of specialization in response to environmental gradients, namely of productivity and disturbance. These axes include leaf economy spectrum, plant size and dispersal ability (Westoby, 1998;Westoby et al., 2002;Wright et al., 2004). These axes are typically proxied by easily measurable traits, namely ...
متن کاملCovariance and decoupling of floral and vegetative traits in nine Neotropical plants: a re-evaluation of Berg's correlation-pleiades concept.
Nearly forty years ago R. L. Berg proposed that plants with specialized pollination ecology evolve genetic and developmental systems that decouple floral morphology from phenotypic variation in vegetative traits. These species evolve separate floral and vegetative trait clusters, or as she termed them, "correlation pleiades." The predictions of this hypothesis have been generally supported, but...
متن کاملLong-term Morphine-treated Rats are more Sensitive to Antinociceptive Effect of Diclofenac than the Morphine-naive rats
This study investigates the effectiveness of the antinociceptive effects of diclofenac, an NSAID, on the nociceptive behavior of morphine-treated rats on formalin test.Rats were treated with morphine-containing drinking water for twenty one days, which induced morphine dependence. The antinociceptive effects of 8, 16, and 32 mg/kg doses of diclofenac were then evaluated and compared with distil...

متن کاملAre Those with Darker Personality Traits more Willing to Corrupt When They Feel Anxious?
This unprecedented research endeavors to investigate the relationship between dark personality traits (i.e., narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) and corruption intention through the mediation of anxiety. Based on the resource conservation theory, it is hypothesized that those higher in dark personality traits are more inclined to corrupt when they feel anxious. Having collected data...
