Impacts of Interspecific Interactions on Crop Growth and Yield in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)/Maize (Zea mays L.) Strip Intercropping under Different Water and Nitrogen Levels

Agronomy, 2022
Interspecific interactions and recovery growth play an important role in crop growth, development and ultimately yield in intercropping systems. However, the impact of different water and nitrogen levels on intercropping production, interspecific ...

Competitive ability of native and alien plants: effects of residence time and invasion status [PDF]

NeoBiota, 2021
Competition is commonly thought to underlie the impact of plant invasions. However, competitive effects of aliens and competitive response of natives may also change over time.

Shift in competitive ability mediated by soil biota in an invasive plant

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Understanding the shifts in competitive ability and its driving forces is key to predict the future of plant invasion. Changes in the competition environment and soil biota are two selective forces that impose remarkable influences on competitive ability.

Effects of environmental changes on interspecific interactions of three sympatric pheasants – A study based on long-term monitoring data

Ecological Indicators, 2022
As the lack of a general understanding of how interspecific interactions change along varying environmental gradients exists, predicting the response of ecological communities to habitat and climate change becomes an arduous task.

Influence of neighboring plants on shading stress resistance and recovery of eelgrass, Zostera marina L. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Stressful environments may enhance the occurrence of facilitative interspecific interactions between plants. In several regions, Zostera marina occurs in mixed assemblages.

Antagonistic Effects of Intraspecific Cooperation and Interspecific Competition on Thermal Performance

eLife, 2020
Abstract Understanding how climate-mediated biotic interactions shape thermal niche width is critical in an era of global change. Yet, most previous work on thermal niches has ignored detailed mechanistic information about the relationship between temperature and organismal performance, which can be described by a ...

Host competence, interspecific competition and vector preference interact to determine the vector-borne infection ecology

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Understanding how ecological interactions affect vector-borne disease dynamics is crucial in the context of rapid biodiversity loss and increased emerging vector-borne diseases.

Exotic invaders gain foraging benefits by shoaling with native fish [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2014
Freshwater habitats are under increasing threat due to invasions of exotic fish. These invasions typically begin with the introduction of small numbers of individuals unfamiliar with the new habitat.

Surface Area of Wood Influences the Effects of Fungal Interspecific Interaction on Wood Decomposition—A Case Study Based on Pinus densiflora and Selected White Rot Fungi

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Wood decomposer basidiomycetes are the major agents of lignocellulose decomposition in dead wood. As their interspecific interaction affects wood decomposition, difference in interaction area may alter the magnitude of the effects.
