Long‐Term Elevated CO2 Improves Soil Health and Rice Yields in Paddy Fields

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Combining the two longest‐running rice free‐air CO2 enrichment experiments with a global data synthesis, this study demonstrates that long‐term elevated CO2 consistently enhances soil health. In rice paddies, this improvement sustains the CO2 fertilization effect over decades.

Feeding ecology of cheetahs in the Maasai Mara, Kenya and the potential for intra‐ and interspecific competition

, 2018
Competition is an important ecological factor influencing the population dynamics of carnivores especially as shifts in prey selection could have negative consequences for other members of the carnivore guild.

Coexistence and relative abundance in annual plant assemblages: The roles of competition and colonization [PDF]

, 2002
Although an interspecific trade-off between competitive and colonizing ability can permit multispecies coexistence, whether this mechanism controls the structure of natural systems remains unresolved.

2‐line Ferrihydrite Enhance Microbial Synthesis of Plant Biostimulants in Composted Biosolid by Regulating Phyla Pseudomonadota and Actinomycetota

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study explores how iron and manganese oxides transform sewage sludge into plant biostimulants during composting. Non‐targeted identification reveals the main species of plant biostimulants. Metagenomic analysis reveals that 2‐line ferrihydrite specifically enriches microbial genes for biosynthesis, boosting plant‐growth promoters.

Intraspecific and interspecific competition induces density‐dependent habitat niche shifts in an endangered steppe bird

Ecology and Evolution, 2017
Interspecific competition is a dominant force in animal communities that induces niche shifts in ecological and evolutionary time. If competition occurs, niche expansion can be expected when the competitor disappears because resources previously ...

Intertidal Warfare: Synergistic Allelopathy Mediates Spatial Competition between Two Marine Calcareous‐Shelled Sessile Organisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a hidden chemical weapon among calcareous‐shelled sessile organisms in the intertidal zone: the barnacle Balanus albicostatus releases a synergistic blend of palmitic acid and 1‐palmitoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine as the allelochemical with the inhibitory activity against attachment of the mussel Vignadula atrata, which may mediate

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.

Interspecific competition, hybridization, and reproductive isolation in secondary contact: missing perspectives on males and females

Current Zoology, 2017
Research on sexual selection and hybridization has focused on female mate choice and male–male competition. While the evolutionary outcomes of interspecific female preference have been well explored, we are now gaining a better understanding of the ...

Coupling Nitrogenous Organic Wastewater Treatment and Biorefinery via N‐Cycling Bacterium

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The vast reservoir of nitrogenous organic pollutants in industrial wastewaters can serve as untapped carbon‐nitrogen resources. This study employs the newly discovered Paracoccus sp. ZQW‐1 as a versatile chassis to simultaneously achieve N‐methylpyrrolidone (NMP) wastewater depuration and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis.

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 ...
