Mouse Lemurs in an Assemblage of Cheirogaleid Primates in Menabe Central, Western Madagascar – Three Reasons to Coexist

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Ecological communities are structured by interactions between coexisting species that mutually influence their distribution and abundance. Ecologically similar species are expected to exclude one another from suitable habitat, so the coexistence of two ...

Duration of Exposure to Elevated Temperature Affects Competitive Interactions in Juvenile Reef Fishes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Climate change will affect key ecological processes that structure natural communities, but the outcome of interactions between individuals and species will depend on their thermal plasticity.

The Species-Specific Responses of Freshwater Diatoms to Elevated Temperatures Are Affected by Interspecific Interactions

Microorganisms, 2018
Numerous experimental simulations with different warming scenarios have been conducted to predict how algae will respond to warming, but their conclusions are sometimes contradictory to each other. This might be due to a failure to consider interspecific

Influence of Temperature on the Interaction for Resource Utilization between Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), and a Community of Lepidopteran Maize Stemborers Larvae

Insects, 2020
Intra- and interspecific interactions within communities of species that utilize the same resources are characterized by competition or facilitation.

Daily Temperature Fluctuations Alter Interactions between Closely Related Species of Marine Nematodes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In addition to an increase in mean temperature, climate change models predict decreasing amplitudes of daily temperature fluctuations. In temperate regions, where daily and seasonal fluctuations are prominent, such decreases in daily temperature ...

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 ...

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.

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

Direct and indirect effects of climate change on a prairie plant community. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
Climate change directly affects species by altering their physical environment and indirectly affects species by altering interspecific interactions such as predation and competition.

Observation of a black‐cheeked waxbill (Brunhilda charmosyna) cleaning a Kirk’s dik‐dik (Madoqua kirkii)

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The vast majority of interspecific interactions are competitive or exploitative. Yet, some positive interspecies interactions exist, where one (commensalism) or both (mutualism) species benefit.
