    New Phytol 170:807-18. 2006
    ..Within a narrow range of wood density, there was significant variation in vessel traits. Given their particular ecological associations, the results suggest that wood density and vessel traits describe two distinct ecological axes...

    William K Cornwell
    Department of Biological Sciences, Stanford University, California 94305, USA
    Ecology 87:1465-71. 2006
    ..Our results show that observed plant communities occupy less trait space than expected from random assembly, a result consistent with habitat filtering...

    Department of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, USA
    Am Nat 170:271-83. 2007
    ..Our results deepen our understanding of processes that contribute to phylogenetic community structure and provide guidance for the design and interpretation of empirical research...

    Ecol Lett 11:1065-71. 2008
    ..This connection between plant strategies and decomposability is crucial for both understanding vegetation-soil feedbacks, and for improving forecasts of the global carbon cycle...
