Leaf venation network architecture coordinates functional trade-offs across vein spatial scales: evidence for multiple alternative designs by Matos, IS, Boakye, M, Niewiadomski, I, Antonio, M, Carlos, S, Johnson, BC, Chu, A, Echevarria, A, Fontao, A, Garcia, L, Kalantar, D, Madhavan, S, Mann, J, McDonough, S, Rohde, J, Scudder, M, Sharma, S, To, J, Tomaka, C, Vu, B, Yokota, N, Forbes, H, Fricker, M, Blonder, BW

“…</li> <li>Here, we measured architecture and functional traits on 122 ferns and angiosperms species to describe how trade-offs vary across phylogenetic groups and vein spatial scales (small, medium, and large vein width) and determine whether architecture traits at each scale have independent or integrated effects on each function.…”

Ectomycorrhizal community composition, diversity, and their environmental drivers across common UK temperate woodlands by Ong, Wei Sern

“…ECM richness, diversity and taxonomic community composition were determined by Sanger sequencing of the fungal ITS gene from collected ECM root tip samples, while functional traits and morphology of the ectomycorrhizas were also recorded. …”

Winner–loser plant trait replacements in human-modified tropical forests by Pinho, BX, Melo, FPL, ter Braak, CJF, Bauman, D, Maréchaux, I, Tabarelli, M, Benchimol, M, Arroyo-Rodriguez, V, Santos, BA, Hawes, JE, Berenguer, E, Ferreira, J, Silveira, JM, Peres, CA, Rocha‐Santos, L, Souza, FC, Gonçalves-Souza, T, Mariano-Neto, E, Faria, D, Barlow, J

“…Combining floristic and functional trait data for 1,207 tree species across 271 forest plots, we find that forest loss consistently caused an increased dominance of low-density woods and small seeds dispersed by endozoochory (winner traits) and the loss of distinctive traits, such as extremely dense woods and large seeds dispersed by synzoochory (loser traits). …”

Resonance modes of tall plasmonic nanostructures and their applications for biosensing by Soehartono, Alana M., Tobing, Landobasa Y. M., Mueller, Aaron D., Yong, Ken-Tye, Zhang, Dao Hua

“…However, the inherently short evanescent decay field saturates the optical response within 10-30 nm of the metal surface, hindering multi-layered functionalization strategies typically used for specific binding due to its limited surface proximity. …”
