European Journal of Entomology, 2001 The effects of oviposition-deterring larval tracks of four aphidophagous coccinellids and two chrysopids were investigated on females of four coccinellid species in choice tests.

Species-Specific Effects on Ecosystem Functioning Can Be Altered by Interspecific Interactions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Biological assemblages are constantly undergoing change, with species being introduced, extirpated and experiencing shifts in their densities. Theory and experimentation suggest that the impacts of such change on ecosystem functioning should be ...

Co-occurrence pattern of congeneric tree species provides conflicting evidence for competition relatedness hypothesis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 In plants, negative reproductive interaction among closely related species (i.e., reproductive interference) is known to hamper the coexistence of congeneric species while facilitation can increase species persistence.

Relationships between tree biomass productivity and local species diversity
Ecosphere, 2016 This study evaluated the relationship between the productivity of aboveground coarse woody biomass and species richness at individual species and community levels in two large and fully stem‐mapped temperate forest plots in northeastern China.

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015 It has long been known that the behavior of an animal can be affected by odors from another species. Such interspecific effects of odorous compounds (allelochemics) are usually characterized according to who benefits (emitter, receiver, or both) and the ...

Meta‐Analysis of the Effects of Forest Fragmentation on Interspecific Interactions
Conservation Biology, 2014 Abstract Forest fragmentation dramatically alters species persistence and distribution and affects many ecological interactions among species. Recent studies suggest that mutualisms, such as pollination and seed dispersal, are more sensitive to the negative effects of forest fragmentation than antagonisms, such as predation or ...

Arginine vasotocin regulation of interspecific cooperative behaviour in a cleaner fish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In an interspecific cooperative context, individuals must be prepared to tolerate close interactive proximity to other species but also need to be able to respond to relevant social stimuli in the most appropriate manner.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 One of the key aims of global change studies is to predict more accurately how plant community composition responds to future environmental changes. Although interspecific relationship is one of the most important forces structuring plant communities, it

Parasite and nutrient enrichment effects on Daphnia interspecific competition [PDF]
Ecology, 2015 Increased productivity due to nutrient enrichment is hypothesized to affect density‐dependent processes, such as transmission success of horizontally transmitting parasites. Changes in nutrient availability can also modify the stoichiometry and condition of individual hosts, which may affect their susceptibility for parasites as well as the growth ...
