Competitive Interactions Among Populus euphratica Seedlings Intensify Under Drought and Salt Stresses [PDF]
PlantsPlant interactions and their responses to stress environments are important ecological processes for ecosystem stability and biodiversity formation, but how plant intraspecific relationships respond to environmental stresses remains to be studied in ...

Application of high resolution melting assay (HRM) to study temperature-dependent intraspecific competition in a pathogenic bacterium [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Studies on species’ responses to climate change have focused largely on the direct effect of abiotic factors and in particular temperature, neglecting the effects of biotic interactions in determining the outcome of climate change projections.

Ant Mortality with Food Competition in Forests along a Temperature Gradient
Insects, 2022 The authors elucidated the relationship between temperature and mortality due to food competition in ant communities in forests. A field experiment was conducted using four bait types at six different oak forest sites with different mean annual ...

Spatial heterogeneity in light supply affects intraspecific competition of a stoloniferous clonal plant. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Spatial heterogeneity in light supply is common in nature. Many studies have examined the effects of heterogeneous light supply on growth, morphology, physiology and biomass allocation of clonal plants, but few have tested those effects on intraspecific ...

Horticulturae, 2022 Plant physiological responses to various stresses are characterized by interaction and coupling, while the intrinsic mechanism remains unclear. The effects of intraspecific competition on plant growth, stomatal opening, and hormone concentrations were ...

Shift in competitive ability mediated by soil biota in an invasive plant
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Understanding the shifts in competitive ability and its driving forces is key to predict the future of plant invasion. Changes in the competition environment and soil biota are two selective forces that impose remarkable influences on competitive ability.

The Intraspecific competition as a driver for true production potential of soybean
Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2020 Phenotypic plasticity of agricultural plants is considered to be one of the main means by which plants cope with the variability of environmental factors.

Egg chemoattractants moderate intraspecific sperm competition [PDF]
Evolution Letters, 2017 AbstractInteractions among eggs and sperm are often assumed to generate intraspecific variation in reproductive fitness, but the specific gamete-level mechanisms underlying competitive fertilization success remain elusive in most species. Sperm chemotaxis–the attraction of sperm by egg-derived chemicals—is a ubiquitous form of gamete signaling ...

Animals, 2021 In extensive livestock production, high densities may inhibit regulation processes, maintaining high levels of intraspecific competition over time. During competition, individuals typically modify their behaviours, particularly feeding and bite rates ...

THE CONDITIONS FOR SPECIATION THROUGH INTRASPECIFIC COMPETITION [PDF]
Evolution, 2006 It has been shown theoretically that sympatric speciation can occur if intraspecific competition is strong enough to induce disruptive selection. However, the plausibility of the involved processes is under debate, and many questions on the conditions for speciation remain unresolved.
