Interspecific interactions between sympatric apes [PDF]

iScience, 2022
Summary: Gorillas reside in sympatry with chimpanzees over the majority of their range. Compiling all known reports of overlap between apes and augmenting these with observations made over twenty years in the Ndoki Forest, we examine the potential ...

Microbiomes Reduce Their Host’s Sensitivity to Interspecific Interactions [PDF]

mBio, 2020
Bacteria associated with eukaryotic hosts can affect host fitness and trophic interactions between eukaryotes, but the extent to which bacteria influence the eukaryotic species interactions within trophic levels that modulate biodiversity and species ...

Assessing the importance of interspecific interactions in the evolution of microbial communities [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Interspecific interactions play an important role in the establishment of a community phenotype. Furthermore, the evolution of a community can both occur through an independent evolution of the species composing the community and the interactions among ...

Does the Species Number of Invasive Plants Regulate the Intensity of Interspecific Interactions Among Multiple Plants Under Different Invasion Scenarios? [PDF]

Plants
Multiple invasive plants (IPS) can coexist in the same community. The intensity of interspecific interactions among multiple plants may progressively alter with the differences in the species number of IPS (Si) under different invasion scenarios. However,

Motorboat noise disrupts co-operative interspecific interactions [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
Human-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.

Venom trade-off shapes interspecific interactions, physiology, and reproduction. [PDF]

Sci Adv, 2023
AbstractThe ability of an animal to effectively capture prey and defend against predators is pivotal for its survival. Venom, a mixture of many toxin proteins, shapes predator-prey interactions. Here, we use the sea anemoneNematostella vectensisto test how toxin genotypes impact predator-prey interactions.

Inferring bacterial interspecific interactions from microcolony growth expansion. [PDF]

Microlife
AbstractInteractions between species are thought to be crucial for modulating their growth and behaviour within communities, and determinant for the emergence of community functions. Several different interaction concepts exist, but there is no consensus on how interactions should be quantified and integrated in community growth theory.

Chronobiology of interspecific interactions in a changing world. [PDF]

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2017
Animals should time activities, such as foraging, migration and reproduction, as well as seasonal physiological adaptation, in a way that maximizes fitness. The fitness outcome of such activities depends largely on their interspecific interactions; the temporal overlap with other species determines when they should be active in order to maximize their ...

Exploring interspecific interaction variability in microbiota: A review

Engineering Microbiology
Interspecific interactions are an important component and a strong selective force in microbial communities. Over the past few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the variability in microbial interactions, and various studies are already ...

The importance of aboveground and belowground interspecific interactions in determining crop growth and advantages of peanut/maize intercropping

Crop Journal, 2021
Intercropping of maize (Zea mays L.) and peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) often results in greater yields than the respective sole crops. However, there is limited knowledge of aboveground and belowground interspecific interactions between maize and peanut ...
