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 ...

Frontiers in Marine ScienceIntraspecific competition and resource diversity are considered major drivers of niche differentiation, which are expected to promote population niche expansion by driving individuals to feed on alternative resources and/or by enhancing individual diet ...

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.

Inter‐ and Intraspecific Competition in Invasive Lactuca serriola and Co‐Occurring Weedy Plant Species [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionWhile invasive success of alien plant species is often attributed to their superior competitive abilities, it is also suggested that competitive ability depends on the target species of competition and resource availability.

Intraspecific competition for host resources in a parasite. [PDF]
Curr Biol, 2021 Intraspecific competition among parasites should, in theory, increase virulence, but we lack clear evidence of this from nature.1-3 Parasitic plants, which are sessile and acquire carbon-based resources through both autotrophy (photosynthesis) and ...

Behavioural causes and consequences of sexual size dimorphism in an apex predator species. [PDF]
Individual differences within populations in a range of phenotypic traits are hypothesised to have important ecological and evolutionary implications. Variation in individual growth rates that result in corresponding variations in body sizes, including ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Agronomy, 2022 A heterogeneous distribution of nutrients in the soil and the root interactions of crops coexist in agroecosystems. A ‘root splitting’ approach, i.e., splitting the root system into different nutrient compartments, was used to study nutrient ...
