Trait and State Self-Esteem

11.5K
The term self-esteem is often used generically, to refer to how people feel about themselves. However, according to research, there are three distinct constructs that should not be used interchangeably (Brown & Marshall, 2006).

Polygenic Traits01:18

Polygenic Traits

69.1K
When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

21.8K
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Traits and States01:17

Traits and States

561
Personality traits represent consistent patterns in behavior, thoughts, and emotions, reflecting an individual's tendencies across various situations. For example, extraversion, a well-known trait, manifests in individuals as talkative, energetic, and enthusiastic behaviors. These traits are stable over time, offering a reliable framework for predicting how people might act in different contexts. However, they do not define every moment of an individual's life. In contrast to traits,...

Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Biodiversity Science

Background:

  • Functional trait databases are essential for ecological research.
  • Understanding plant traits is key to ecological studies.
  • Mediterranean Basin flora is ecologically significant.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the BROT 2.0 database, an updated and expanded functional trait dataset for Mediterranean vascular plants.
  • To provide a comprehensive resource for ecological studies in the Mediterranean Basin.
  • To facilitate comparative ecological research between the Mediterranean and other global ecosystems.

Main Methods:

  • Compiled trait data from literature reviews, field observations, and experimental data.
  • Included 44 functional traits for 2,457 plant taxa across 119 families.
  • Structured data with referenced records, geographic coordinates, and accuracy levels.

Main Results:

  • The BROT 2.0 database contains 25,764 individual trait records.
  • It is a significant expansion from BROT 1.0, featuring more taxa, traits, and records.
  • Data quality is enhanced with full referencing and accuracy indicators.

Conclusions:

  • BROT 2.0 is a valuable tool for testing hypotheses in plant functional ecology within the Mediterranean Basin.
  • The database can be used to compare Mediterranean plant ecology with other regions globally.
  • BROT 2.0 serves as a model for developing similar trait databases in other parts of the world.
