Open Science principles for accelerating trait-based science across the Tree of Life

Rachael V. Gallagher, +65 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermal trouble in the tropics

TL;DR: On page 1437 of this issue, Chan et al. (2) advance Janzen's early theories by elucidating some of the potential selective pressures imposed by climate and climate variability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Climate-driven changes in the composition of New World plant communities

TL;DR: The authors analyzed millions of records of thousands of species and found that the plant communities in most ecoregions in North, Central and South America have experienced thermophilization over the past four decades (1970-2011).
Journal ArticleDOI
