• Biotic and abiotic drivers of intraspecific trait variation within plant populations of three herbaceous plant species along a latitudinal gradient 

      Helsen, Kenny; Acharya, Kamal Prasad; Brunet, J; Cousins, Sara A. O.; Decocq, Guillaume; Hermy, Martin; Kolb, Annette; Lemke, Isgard H.; Lenoir, Jonathan; Plue, Jan; Verheyen, Kris; De Frenne, Pieter; Graae, Bente Jessen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Background: The importance of intraspecific trait variation (ITV) is increasingly acknowledged among plant ecologists. However, our understanding of what drives ITV between individual plants (ITVBI) at the population level ...

      Species turnover is ubiquitous. However, it remains unknown whether certain types of species are consistently gained or lost across different habitats. Here, we analysed the trajectories of 1827 plant species over time ...
    • The European Forest Plant Species List (EuForPlant): Concept and applications

      Question When evaluating forests in terms of their biodiversity, distinctiveness and naturalness, the affinity of the constituent species to forests is a crucial parameter. Here we ask to what extent are vascular plant ...
    • No genetic erosion after five generations for Impatiens glandulifera populations across the invaded range in Europe 

      Helsen, Kenny; Hagenblad, Jenny; Acharya, Kamal Prasad; Brunet, Jörg; Cousins, Sara A. O.; Decocq, Guillaume; De Frenne, Pieter; Kimberley, Adam; Kolb, Anette; Michaelis, Jana; Plue, Jan; Verheyen, Kris; Speed, James D M; Graae, Bente Jessen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Background The observation that many alien species become invasive despite low genetic diversity has long been considered the ‘genetic paradox’ in invasion biology. This paradox is often resolved through the temporal ...
