Advances in Ecology with Functional Traits

Yusuke Onoda (Kyoto University), Hiroko Kurokawa (FFPRI) , Kouki Hikosaka (Tohoku University)

Diverse sets of species compose and characterize ecosystems on the earth. Each species has some unique combination of phenotypic traits. Quantifying and analyzing those functional traits enable us to deepen our functional understanding of biodiversity and ecosystems. In the last two decades, functional trait data have been gathered widely and used for multiple purposes such as discovering general principles in ecological strategy, community assembly processes, biogeographic patterns, ecosystem functions and global vegetation modeling. In this symposium, several active scientists will talk about how functional traits are used to advance ecology.
本シンポジウムでは、機能形質に着目して研究を行っている国内外の活発な研究者を集め、機能形質を用いたアプローチにより、これまで何が明らかになってきたか、そして生態学がどう進歩してきたかを紹介したい。扱うテーマは、ゲノム、生活史戦略、群集構造、地理的変異、生態系機能と幅広く、機能形質アプローチの今後の方向性についても議論したい。
