Globally, plants display enormous variation in life‐history strategies and trait combinations.
However, evidence suggests that evolutionary and physiological constraints limit the …

With the aim to identify future challenges and opportunities in vegetation science, we
brought together a group of 22 early career vegetation scientists from diverse backgrounds …

Understanding how floral traits affect reproduction is key for understanding genetic diversity,
speciation, and trait evolution in the face of global changes and pollinator decline. However …

Major dimensions of plant ecological strategies have been widely studied bringing forward
the concept of 'economic spectra'of plants. Sexual reproductive traits,'floral traits', have been …

Ecological differences between coexisting species within plant communities can be
assessed by considering functional and phylogenetic dissimilarities either separately or in a …

Assembly of plant communities has long been scrutinized through the lens of trait‐based
ecology. Studies generally analyse functional traits related to the vegetative growth, survival …

Uncovering the role of competition and facilitation in community assembly is central for
developing a predictive understanding of the forces that organize biodiversity. Standard trait …

Pollination and reproduction are important processes for understanding plant community
dynamics. Information regarding pollination and reproduction is urgent for threatened …

Weed species are ecological models that recently received considerable attention due to
their particular strategies linked to their ruderal‐competitive traits. They are known to have …

The availability of pollen in urban-rural landscapes is an essential factor that influences the
population dynamics of insect pollinators. The amount and diversity of pollen play a pivotal …
