Strong intraspecific trait variation in a tropical dominant tree species along an elevational gradient

Plant Diversity, 2020
Functional trait variation of plant species includes both inter- and intraspecific variation; however, trait-based plant ecology generally considers only interspecific variation while ignoring intraspecific variation.

Osteology of Vertebral Column and Caudal Skeleton of Iranian Aphaniid Species (Teleostei: Cyprinodontiformes, Aphaniidae) [PDF]

Journal of Genetic Resources, 2023
In this study, a comparative analysis of the vertebral column and the caudal skeleton of 245 specimens of 10 Aphanius and three Aphaniops species was conducted based on X-ray imaging, and interspecific variation of these characters was examined.

Phylogeny-Related Variations in Venomics: A Test in a Subset of Habu Snakes (Protobothrops)

Toxins, 2023
We conducted a comparative analysis to unveil the divergence among venoms from a subset of Old World habu snakes (Protobothrops) in terms of venomic profiles and toxicological and enzymatic activities.

Root morphological and physiological traits and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi shape phosphorus-acquisition strategies of 12 vegetable species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Trait plasticity and integration mediate vegetable adaptive strategies. However, it is unclear how patterns of vegetables in root traits influence vegetable adaptation to different phosphorus (P) levels.

Yessotoxins in Mollusks of the Galician Coast from 2014 to 2022: Variability, Biotransformation, and Resistance to Alkaline Hydrolysis

Toxins, 2023
The presence of yessotoxins (YTXs) was analyzed in 10,757 samples of Galician bivalves from 2014 to 2022. Only YTX and 45-OH YTX were found. YTX was detected in 31% of the samples, while 45-OH YTX was found in 11.6% of them.

Variation in root morphology of epiphytic orchids along small-scale and large-scale moisture gradients [PDF]

Acta Botânica Brasílica
Root morphology is expected to respond to environmental conditions. Two earlier studies reported predictable changes in the structure of the velamen radicum (common in monocotyledons) along rainfall gradients, which was expected from its assumed role in ...

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
