• Climatic and biogeographical drivers of functional diversity in the flora of the Canary Islands 

      Hanz, Dagmar M.; Cutts, Vanessa; Barajas-Barbosa, Martha Paola; Algar, Adam C.; Beierkuhnlein, Carl; Fernández-Palacios, José-María; Field, Richard; Kreft, Holger; Steinbauer, Manuel; Weigelt, Patrick; Irl, Severin D. H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Aim Functional traits can help us to elucidate biogeographical and ecological processes driving assemblage structure. We analysed the functional diversity of plant species of different evolutionary origins across an island ...
    • Diversification in evolutionary arenas—Assessment and synthesis 

      Nürk, Nicolai; Linder, H. Peter; Onstein, Renske E; Larcombe, Matthew J; Hughes, Colin E; Piñeiro Fernández, Laura; Schlüter, Philipp M; Valente, Luis; Beierkuhnlein, Carl; Cutts, Vanessa; Donoghue, Michael J; Edwards, Erika J; Field, Richard; Flantua, Suzette; Higgins, Steven I; Jentsch, Anke; Liede‐Schumann, Sigrid; Pirie, Michael David (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Understanding how and why rates of evolutionary diversification vary is a key issue in evolutionary biology, ecology, and biogeography. Evolutionary rates are the net result of interacting processes summarized under concepts ...
    • Effects of climate change on the distribution of plant species and plant functional strategies on the Canary Islands 

      Hanz, Dagmar M.; Cutts, Vanessa; Barajas-Barbosa, Martha Paola; Algar, Adam; Beierkuhnlein, Carl; Collart, Flavien; Fernández-Palacios, José María; Field, Richard; Karger, Dirk N.; Kienle, David R.; Kreft, Holger; Patiño, Jairo; Schrodt, Franziska; Steinbauer, Manuel; Weigelt, Patrick; Irl, Severin D. H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Aim Oceanic islands possess unique floras with high proportions of endemic species. Island floras are expected to be severely affected by changing climatic conditions as species on islands have limited distribution ranges ...
    • Scientific floras can be reliable sources for some trait data in a system with poor coverage in global trait databases 

      Cutts, Vanessa; Hanz, Dagmar M.; Barajas-Barbosa, Martha P.; Algar, Adam C.; Steinbauer, Manuel; Irl, Severin D.H.; Kreft, Holger; Weigelt, Patrick; Fernández-Palacios, José María; Field, Richard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Aim Trait-based approaches are increasingly important in ecology and biogeography, but progress is often hampered by the availability of high-quality quantitative trait data collected in the field. Alternative sources of ...
