Influence of Temperature on the Interaction for Resource Utilization between Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), and a Community of Lepidopteran Maize Stemborers Larvae

Insects, 2020
Intra- and interspecific interactions within communities of species that utilize the same resources are characterized by competition or facilitation.

Adaptive Responses of Tropical Crops: A Multi‐Scale Omics Integrated Perspective

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tropical crops integrate genomic, morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations to thrive under extreme and variable environments. This review highlights how natural selection, domestication, and breeding shape stress resilience, resource‐use strategies, and productivity in sugarcane, banana, cassava, rubber and oil palm, offering new routes

Alien plant fitness is limited by functional trade‐offs rather than a long‐term increase in competitive effects of native communities

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Alien plants experience novel abiotic conditions and interactions with native communities in the introduced area. Intra‐ and interspecific selection on functional traits in the new environment may lead to increased population growth with time since ...

Asymmetric Single‐Atom Catalysts Govern Diffusible and Non‐Diffusible Non‐Radical Pathways for Selective Degradation of Antibiotic Resistance Genes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Asymmetric single‐atom metal‐nitrogen‐carbon catalysts modulate the non‐radical pathway during peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. A fundamental contrast was revealed between diffusible singlet oxygen (1O2) and non‐diffusible electron‐transfer pathways (ETP) in antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) degradation.

INTERSPECIFIC COMPETITION, ISLAND BIOGEOGRAPHY AND NULL HYPOTHESES [PDF]

Evolution, 1980
We conducted a field study of some of Darwin's Finches (Geospiza species) in order to assess the relative importance of interspecific competition and habitat features in determining the observed biogeographic, ecological and morphological characteristics of these species (Abbott et al., 1977). Strong et al. (1979) have criticized one of our methods and

From Circuits to Symphonies: A Systems‐Engineering Blueprint for Multimicrobial Synthetic Biology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Engineering synthetic microbial consortia requires moving beyond intracellular genetic circuits toward coordinated multicellular design. A modular systems‐engineering framework is presented that integrates communication, temporal coordination, ecological structuring, and predictive modeling to guide application‐dependent consortium design ...

Does past evolutionary history under different mating regimes influence the demographic dynamics of interspecific competition?

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Interspecific interactions are contingent upon organism phenotypes, and thus phenotypic evolution can modify interspecific interactions and affect ecological dynamics.

Interspecies Biofilm Dynamics Among Staphylococci: Inflammatory Contributions to Chronic Rhinosinusitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Staphylococcus species are frequently isolated from the sinonasal niche of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients. While Staphylococcus aureus is often associated with recalcitrant CRS, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus lugdunensis are largely deemed commensal.

Removal of Soil Microbes Alters Interspecific Competitiveness of Epichloë Endophyte-Infected over Endophyte-Free Leymus chinensis

Microorganisms, 2020
Epichloë endophytes may not only affect the growth and resistances of host grasses, but may also affect soil environment including soil microbes. Can Epichloë endophyte-mediated modification of soil microbes affect the competitive ability of ...

The importance of aboveground and belowground interspecific interactions in determining crop growth and advantages of peanut/maize intercropping

Crop Journal, 2021
Intercropping of maize (Zea mays L.) and peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) often results in greater yields than the respective sole crops. However, there is limited knowledge of aboveground and belowground interspecific interactions between maize and peanut ...
