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 ...

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.

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

Light and noise pollution interact to disrupt interspecific interactions
Ecology, 2017 AbstractStudies on the consequences of urbanization often examine the effects of light, noise, and heat pollution independently on isolated species providing a limited understanding of how these combined stressors affect species interactions. Here, we investigate how these factors interact to affect parasitic frog‐biting midges (Corethrella spp.) and ...

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.

Transgenic Control of Vectors: The Effects of Interspecific Interactions
Israel Journal of Ecology and Evolution, 2010 The control of insect vectors through conventional sterile insect or transgenic technologies (e.g., RIDL®) is an intense focus of research in the combat against vector-borne disease. While the population dynamic implications of these control strategies are reasonably well-established, the effects of interspecific competition between different vectors ...

Influence of interspecific interactions on avoidance response to contamination [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2018 An increasing number of studies have shown the ability of organisms to escape from toxic effects due to contamination, by moving spatially towards less contaminated habitats. However, this issue has been investigated in monospecific scenarios, without considering possible interactions between species during the contamination avoidance process.

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015 Concomitant infection with more than one parasite species is the rule in nature. Since co-infecting parasites are exploiting the same host, interspecific interactions at the infracommunity level are likely. The nature of such interactions can be expected

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.

Spatial mechanisms promoting plant coexistence. the role of dispersal and competition [PDF]
, 2009 One of the great challenges in ecology is to explain how large numbers of plant species are able to coexist in natural communities. The role of spatial structure for maintaining plant coexistence has so far mainly been explored by theory.
