Qualitative geographical variation in interspecific interactions
Ecography, 2004 We explore geographical variation in the density relationship between potential competitor forest bird groups, resident Parus spp. and migrant Fringilla spp., across Europe using published bird census results.

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

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.

Wing Shape in the Taxonomic Identification of Genera and Species of the Subfamily Dolichopodinae (Dolichopodidae, Diptera) [PDF]
Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2019 Characters of the wing morphology have significant importance in the systematics and taxonomy of the family Dolichopodidae, but there are only a few studies concerning the variation in wing shape of dolichopodid flies.

EntomoBrasilis, 2022 In this study, we use geometric morphometry to discriminate thrips of the species Gynaikothrips uzeli (Zimmerman) and Gynaikothrips ficorum (Marchal) and also to detect sexual dimorphism in these species. Two hundred individuals, one hundred females and

Epigenetic consequences of interploidal hybridisation in synthetic and natural interspecific potato hybrids [PDF]
, 2019 Interploidal hybridisation can generate changes in plant chromosome numbers, which might exert effects additional to the expected due to genome merger per se (i.e., genetic, epigenetic and phenotypic novelties).Wild potatoes are suitable to address this ...

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.

Lujiatun Psittacosaurids: understanding individual and taphonomic variation using 3D geometric morphometrics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Psittacosaurus is one of the most abundant and speciose genera in the Dinosauria, with fifteen named species. The genus is geographically and temporally widespread with large sample sizes of several of the nominal species allowing detailed analysis of ...
