Synthesizing trait observations and knowledge across the Tree of Life remains a grand
challenge for biodiversity science. Species traits are widely used in ecological and evolutionary …

As the single opportunity for plants to move, seed dispersal has an important impact on
plant fitness, species distributions and patterns of biodiversity. However, models that predict …

There is growing realization that intraspecific variation in seed dispersal can have important
ecological and evolutionary consequences. However, we do not have a good …

Many plants rely on animal mutualists for reproduction. Quantifying how animal mutualists
impact plant performance provides a foundation for modelling how change in animal …

Beneficial inherited symbionts are expected to reach high prevalence in host populations,
yet many are observed at intermediate prevalence. Theory predicts that a balance of fitness …
