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 ...

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 ...

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

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

Maternal effects in gene expression of interspecific coral hybrids [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2020 AbstractMaternal effects have been well documented for offspring morphology and life history traits in plants and terrestrial animals, yet little is known about maternal effects in corals. Further, few studies have explored maternal effects in gene expression.

Effects of Interspecific Chromosome Substitution in Upland Cotton on Cottonseed Macronutrients [PDF]
Plants, 2020 Nutrients, including macronutrients such as Ca, P, K, and Mg, are essential for crop production and seed quality, and for human and animal nutrition and health. Macronutrient deficiencies in soil lead to poor crop nutritional qualities and a low level of macronutrients in cottonseed meal-based products, leading to malnutrition. Therefore, the discovery

Open Research Europe, 2023 Background: Interactions between moss species in their earliest growth stages have received little attention. To what extent interspecific competition or priority effects influence spore germination, protonemal development and gametophore emergence is ...

Quantifying interspecific and intraspecific diversity effects on ecosystem functioning
Ecology, 2023 AbstractRapid environmental changes result in massive biodiversity loss, with detrimental consequences for the functioning of ecosystems. Recent studies suggest that intraspecific diversity can contribute to ecosystem functioning to an extent comparable to contributions of interspecific diversity.

Response of chrysopids (Neuroptera) to larval tracks of aphidophagous coccinellids (Coleoptera)
European Journal of Entomology, 2001 Choice tests showed that tracks left by coccinellid larvae have generally little effect on oviposition site selection by chrysopid females. Fresh tracks of first instar larvae of the coccinellid species Coccinella septempunctata, Cycloneda limbifer, Leis

Transgenic Control of Vectors: The Effects of Interspecific Interactions
Israel Journal of Ecology and Evolution, 2010 The control of insect vectors through conventional sterile insect or transgenic technologies (e.g., RIDL®) is an intense focus of research in the combat against vector-borne disease. While the population dynamic implications of these control strategies are reasonably well-established, the effects of interspecific competition between different vectors ...
