Meta-analysis on the responses of traits of different taxonomic groups to global and local stressors

摘要: Abstract Climate change and pollution are considered as major drivers of biodiversity loss. is a global multi-stressor, whereas predominantly acts on the local scale. Organisms traits provide mechanistic links between biotic responses stressors. We reviewed analyzed literature vertebrates, invertebrates, microorganisms plants to climate (437 studies) (121 studies), assess whether there was uniformity (i.e. convergence) in multi-stressors. For change, related tolerance responded uniformly across taxonomic groups, indicating trait convergence. pollution, low number studies hampered comparison groups. However, aquatic invertebrates that tolerant, or exhibit high dispersal reproduction capacities increased response body mass size phytoplankton fish, respectively. set have potential predict ecosystem-wide effects pollution.
