TL;DR: An r package that provides easy access to large-scale botanical data in the BIEN database by turning user inputs into optimised PostgreSQL functions and developing a protocol for providing customised citations and herbarium acknowledgements for data downloaded through the bien r package.
Journal ArticleDOI
New approaches for delineating n-dimensional hypervolumes
Benjamin Blonder,Cecina Babich Morrow,Brian S. Maitner,David J. Harris,Christine Lamanna,Cyrille Violle,Brian J. Enquist,Brian J. Enquist,Andrew J. Kerkhoff +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a more robust approach for delineating the shape and density of n-dimensional hypervolumes, which provides more efficient performance on large and high-dimensional datasets and improved measures of functional diversity and environmental niche breadth.
Journal ArticleDOI
The commonness of rarity: Global and future distribution of rarity across land plants.

TL;DR: The results indicate that (i) climatically more stable regions have harbored rare species and hence a large fraction of Earth’s plant species via reduced extinction risk but that (ii) climate change and human land use are now disproportionately impacting rare species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intraspecific trait variation and phenotypic plasticity mediate alpine plant species response to climate change
Jonathan J. Henn,Vanessa Buzzard,Brian J. Enquist,Aud H. Halbritter,Aud H. Halbritter,Kari Klanderud,Brian S. Maitner,Sean T. Michaletz,Sean T. Michaletz,Christine Pötsch,Lorah Seltzer,Richard J. Telford,Richard J. Telford,Yan Yang,Li Zhang,Vigdis Vandvik,Vigdis Vandvik +16 more
TL;DR: Plasticity in leaf functional traits tended to enable plant populations to shift their trait values toward the mean values of a transplanted plants’ destination community, but only if that population started with very different trait values.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: How adherence to Open Science principles is key to the OTN community is demonstrated and five activities that can accelerate the synthesis of trait data across the Tree of Life are outlined, thereby facilitating rapid advances to address scientific inquiries and environmental issues.
