Wood trait preferences of Neotropical xylophagous beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
… strategies are correlated with functional plant traits, such as wood density (WD), moisture content (MC), bark thickness (BT), and nitrogen content (N); these traits affect the nutrients available to xylophagous insects. Cerambycid beetles feed on substrates that vary in these traits, but little …

Interspecific wood trait variation predicts decreased carbon residence time in changing forests
… in aboveground carbon (C) from live trees to deadwood, concurrent with compositional shifts. While interspecific decay variation is widely reported, the implications of forest compositional change on ecosystem-level deadwood decay and consequently, the future of a globally significant C pool have …

Vegetative Anatomy of Rhododendron with a Focus on a Comparison between Temperate and Tropical Species
… work was to explore leaf and stem anatomical traits in relation to habitat (temperate and tropical) and elevation of the native range. A closely-related group of Rhododendron was selected to reduce variation in genetic history and reveal environment–associated adaptive traits. Vessel …
