Our new online application EVA-MAP provides interactive maps of vegetation plots from the European Vegetation Archive and ReSurveyEurope databases. It enables filtering the plots by various criteria. More details can be found in this new article in the IAVS Bulletin:

Our first paper from the Bug-Network (BugNet) is out! 🎉

BugNet is a global network studying how invertebrate herbivores and fungal pathogens shape plant diversity & ecosystem functioning worldwide. The paper reports on the methods of the experimental part:

Finally, we tested several #sampling efforts to find out the best sampling strategy in order to reflect #intraindividual variability in population and community trait-based studies. Generally, accounting for several #ramets per clone emerged as the best strategy.

Alba Anadon-Rosell @albaanadon.bsky.social · 11d

We also explored the potential environmental causes of #intraindividual variability across species. We found little relationship with local #climatic variables except for SLA. Most likely, microclimate is playing a role here.

Alba Anadon-Rosell @albaanadon.bsky.social · 11d

Within each species, we found very large values of #intraindividual variability. Sometimes, the variability within the individual reached, by far, greater values than the variability across #genotypes or #populations.

Alba Anadon-Rosell @albaanadon.bsky.social · 11d

We found that a significant amount of variability occurred within the individual (both between and within #ramets of the same genetic individual) when looking across species

This study documents extensive intraindividual trait variability (variability among repeated units within an individual) within clonal plants for both size-architectural and leaf traits (up to 100% of total). Congrats to @albaanadon.bsky.social and co-authors !
