The foundation of this work was laid in our earlier work published at #EcologyLetters. We showed that functional traits explain AIV infection outcomes. #EcologyLetters #TraitBasedEcology

A common garden super‐experiment: An impossible dream to inspire possible synthesis We summarize the large body of research on Sonoran Desert winter annuals to demonstrate how experimental designs that employ common gardens to integrate processes across scales hold special promise. ...

Somehow missed this one ... " Huxman et al. An impossible dream to inspire possible synthesis" = how experimental designs that employ common gardens to integrate processes across scales hold special promise 🧪🌐🌾 #traitbasedecology besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

🔬 We also discuss and highlight the value of considering functional traits—such as reproductive mode and physiological plasticity—to better understand tadpole responses to habitat modification.
