Journal ArticleDOI
Aridity drove the evolution of extreme embolism resistance and the radiation of conifer genus Callitris
Maximilian Larter,Sebastian Pfautsch,Jean-Christophe Domec,Jean-Christophe Domec,Santiago Trueba,Nathalie S. Nagalingum,Sylvain Delzon +6 more
TL;DR: The uncoupling of safety from other xylem functions allowed Callitris to evolve extreme embolism resistance and diversify into xeric environments, and the leading role of aridity in the diversification of conifers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thresholds for leaf damage due to dehydration: declines of hydraulic function, stomatal conductance and cellular integrity precede those for photochemistry
Santiago Trueba,Ruihua Pan,Ruihua Pan,Christine Scoffoni,Christine Scoffoni,Grace P. John,Grace P. John,Stephen D. Davis,Lawren Sack +8 more
TL;DR: Thresholds for each type of functional decline were much less variable across species in terms of relative water content than Ψleaf, and tissue dehydration thresholds were intercorrelated, suggesting trait co-selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth form evolution in piperales and its relevance for understanding angiosperm diversification: An integrative approach combining plant architecture, anatomy, and biomechanics
Sandrine Isnard,Juliana Prosperi,Stefan Wanke,Sarah T. Wagner,Marie-Stéphanie Samain,Santiago Trueba,Lena Frenzke,Christoph Neinhuis,Nick P. Rowe +8 more
TL;DR: This review investigates patterns of growth form diversification in Piperales, an early-diverging lineage and the most morphologically diverse clade among magnoliids, as well as the biomechanical significance of developmental characters, such the organization, loss, and gain of woodiness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vulnerability to xylem embolism as a major correlate of the environmental distribution of rain forest species on a tropical island
Santiago Trueba,Robin Pouteau,Frederic Lens,Taylor S. Feild,Sandrine Isnard,Mark E. Olson,Sylvain Delzon +6 more
TL;DR: Drought-induced xylem embolism vulnerability behaves as a physiological trait closely associated with the habitat occupation of rain forest woody species, and stands out among other commonly used functional traits as a major driver of species environmental distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Xylem vessel-diameter–shoot-length scaling: ecological significance of porosity types and other traits
Mark E. Olson,Julieta A. Rosell,Cecilia Martínez-Pérez,Calixto León-Gómez,Alex Fajardo,Sandrine Isnard,María Angélica Cervantes-Alcayde,Alberto Echeverría,Víctor A. Figueroa-Abundiz,Alí Segovia-Rivas,Santiago Trueba,Santiago Trueba,Karen Vázquez-Segovia +12 more
TL;DR: The methods illustrate how vessel diameter can be studied taking shoot length into account to detect ecologically important variation and construct theory regarding plant adaptation via the hydraulic system that includes plant size as a vital element.
