Interspecific interactions, population variation, and environmental forcing in the context of the community

Ecosphere, 2016
We evaluated the contribution of interspecific interactions, intraspecific processes, and environmental forcing to variation in speciessa' abundance in a habitat undergoing rapid successional change. We applied a Bayesian hierarchical approach to a 29‐yr

Macroalgae and interspecific alarm cues regulate behavioral interactions between sea urchins and sea cucumbers

Scientific Reports, 2022
Sea urchins and sea cucumbers are mutually beneficial organisms in kelp ecosystem. As herbivores, sea urchins process kelp through feeding and egestion, providing inaccessible food for benthic consumers such as sea cucumbers.

Effects of climate on intra‐ and interspecific size variation in bumble‐bees [PDF]

Functional Ecology, 2005
Summary In contrast to other social bees, bumble‐bees exhibit considerable size variation within the worker caste. This size variation has not been adequately explained, although it is known that larger workers tend to be foragers and smaller bees spend more time in the nest.

Time‐Controlled Refrigerated Stem Cell Therapy Mitigates Scleroderma Fibrosis via Modulation of Mitochondrial Autophagy and Gut Metabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study established an RT‐MSCs‐based therapeutic approach for scleroderma in mice. RT‐MSCs attenuated fibrosis by regulating mitochondrial autophagy and restored gut microbiota homeostasis. Metabolomic analyses confirmed recovery of key metabolites, and RT‐MSCs demonstrated favorable lesion targeting and safety profiles.

3D Chromatin Architecture Provides Insights Into Leaf Trait Variation Among Pear Species

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Three‐dimensional (3D) chromatin architecture plays a fundamental role in eukaryotic gene regulations, its functional significance in perennial fruit trees remains poorly characterized despite extensive applications in crop genomics. Here, we developed high‐resolution (∼5 kb) Hi‐C maps of Pyrus and compared 3D genomic architecture of three ...

The alteration of interspecific interaction responded to various relative sowing time in wheat/maize intercropping

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionAn interspecific interaction is an important reason for the yield advantage of interspecific cropping compared with sole cropping, and the relative sowing time of species is an important factor affecting interspecific competitiveness.

Promotive or suppressive effects of ultrafine bubbles on crop growth depended on bubble concentration and crop species

Plant Production Science, 2021
Previous research into the effects of ultrafine bubbles (UFB) on plant growth have been contradictory. To facilitate the resolution of these contradictions, the aim of the present study was to clarify the interspecific differences in growth responses ...

Influence of abiotic factors on habitat selection of sympatric ocelots and bobcats: testing the interactive range-limit theory

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
AimMitigating the effects of extreme conditions is a mechanism that can structure the activity patterns and habitat selection of a species and may particularly impact species at the extremes of their geographic distribution. Furthermore, changing climate

Functional Mapping of Neurodevelopmental Disease Pathways to Key Neurodevelopmental Processes Represented in the Developmental Neurotoxicity In Vitro Testing Battery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Human‐relevant methods are essential for modern chemical safety assessment. This study helps define the capabilities and boundaries of an in vitro testing battery for developmental neurotoxicity by exploring its biological applicability domain. By linking neurodevelopmental disease‐related pathways to key neurodevelopmental processes, the work enhances

Effect of kinetin on interspecific crosses inBrassica

Biologia Plantarum, 1988
Application of kinetin to four interspecific crosses in Brassica, either singly or in combination with NAA, resulted in larger length and retention time of ovaries, increased frequency of ovules with embryos and aided embryo development.
