Who bullies whom at a garden feeder? Interspecific agonistic interactions of small passerines during a cold winter [PDF]
, 2015 Interspecific agonistic interactions are important selective factors for maintaining ecological niches of different species, but their outcome is difficult to predict a priori.

Motorboat noise disrupts co-operative interspecific interactions [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractHuman-made noise is contributing increasingly to ocean soundscapes. Its physical, physiological and behavioural effects on marine organisms are potentially widespread, but our understanding remains largely limited to intraspecific impacts. Here, we examine how motorboats affect an interspecific cleaning mutualism critical for coral reef fish ...

Prey choice by facultative predator larvae of Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001 In this study we investigated predation rates on third instar larvae of Chrysomya putoria and C. megacephala by third instar larvae of C. albiceps in a two-choice situation. The highest predation rate occurred on C.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Few studies have investigated bacterial community succession and the role of bacterial decomposition over a continuum of wood decay. Here, we identified how (i) the diversity and abundance of bacteria changed along a chronosequence of decay in Populus ...

How self-regulation, the storage effect and their interaction contribute to coexistence in stochastic and seasonal environments [PDF]
, 2019 Explaining coexistence in species-rich communities of primary producers remains a challenge for ecologists because of their likely competition for shared resources.

Recombining your way out of trouble: the genetic architecture of hybrid fitness under environmental stress [PDF]
, 2020 Hybridization between species is a fundamental evolutionary force that can both promote and delay adaptation. There is a deficit in our understanding of the genetic basis of hybrid fitness, especially in non-domesticated organisms.

Do Geese Facilitate or Compete with Wintering Hooded Cranes (Grus monacha) for Forage Resources?
Diversity, 2020 Foraging is the key behavior of waterbirds, which profoundly affects the survival of their population, and it is affected by interspecific interaction.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Root-root interactions are much more sophisticated than previously thought, yet the mechanisms of belowground neighbor perception remain largely obscure. Genome-wide transcriptome analyses allow detailed insight into plant reactions to environmental cues.

Sympatric song variant in mountain chickadees Poecile gambeli does not reduce aggression from black-capped chickadees Poecile atricapillus [PDF]
, 2016 When habitats overlap and species compete for resources, negative interactions frequently occur. Character displacement in the form of behavioural, social or morphological divergences between closely related species can act to reduce negative ...
