Interspecific resource competition effects on fisheries revenue. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In many fisheries multiple species are simultaneously caught while stock assessments and fishing quota are defined at species level. Yet species caught together often share habitat and resources, resulting in interspecific resource competition.

Maternal effects and the outcome of interspecific competition
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Maternal environmental effects create lagged population responses to past environments. Although they are ubiquitous and vary in expression across taxa, it remains unclear if and how their presence alters competitive interactions in ecological ...

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 ...

Effects of Intra- and Interspecific Plant Density on Rhizosphere Bacterial Communities [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 There have been very few studies on the effects of plant competition on the rhizosphere bacterial community. To investigate the impacts of intra- and interspecific plant competition, we analyzed the responses of rhizosphere bacterial communities to plant

Intraspecific Versus Interspecific Scaling of Metabolic Rate: Tests of the Metabolic Theory of Ecology Across Biological Hierarchies [PDF]
BiologyThe Metabolic Theory of Ecology (MTE) proposes universal constants for the scaling of metabolic rate (BMR) with body mass and temperature. However, the validity of these constants across different biological hierarchies, specifically within versus ...

The effect of microplastics on the interspecific competition of Daphnia
Environmental Pollution, 2022 Microplastic pollution is currently one of the most intensely studied ecological issues. Numerous studies have estimated the distribution and concentration of microplastics in various environments and determine how they affect their inhabitants. Much less effort has been place on assessing the possible effects of microplastics on interactions between ...

Roles of clonal parental effects in regulating interspecific competition between two floating plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Parental effects can influence offspring fitness, which may further impact interspecific competition. However, few studies have tested the role of clonal parental effects in regulating interspecific interactions and examined the underlying mechanisms. We

The effect of interspecific oocytes on demethylation of sperm DNA [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 In contrast to mice, in sheep no genome-wide demethylation of the paternal genome occurs within the first postfertilization cell cycle. This difference could be due either to an absence of a sheep demethylase activity that is present in mouse ooplasm or to an increased protection of methylated cytosine residues in sheep sperm. Here, we use interspecies

Direct and indirect effects of climate change on a prairie plant community. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Climate change directly affects species by altering their physical environment and indirectly affects species by altering interspecific interactions such as predation and competition.

An interspecific variation in rhizosphere effects on soil anti-erodibility [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractSoil erosion due to underground leakage is a major factor causing land degradation in karst regions. Rhizosphere effects (REs) on soil anti-erodibility (SAE) can alleviate this type of soil erosion by improving soil physical processes such as aggregate stability. However, the magnitudes and causes of interspecific variation in REs on SAE remain
