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 ...

Competition among larval anurans can occur via interference as well as via a reduction in per-capita food supply. Previous research on intraspecific interference competition in cane toad (Rhinella marina) tadpoles found conflicting results, with one ...

Intraspecific competition is a common phenomenon in agricultural production, and maize is one of the most sensitive grass species to intraspecific competition due to its low tillering ability.

Intraspecific Competitive Interactions Rapidly Evolve Via Spontaneous Mutations [PDF]
Abstract Using a mechanistic eco-evolutionary trait-based neighborhood-model, we quantify the impact of mutations on intraspecific spatial interactions to better understand mechanisms underlying the maintenance of genetic variation and the potential effects of these evolved interactions on the population dynamics of Arabidopsis thaliana. We use

Mathematical Model of Iteroparous and Semelparous Species Interaction
A species can be categorized based on its reproductive strategy, including semelparous and iteroparous. Semelparous species is a species that reproduces only once in its lifetime shortly before dying, while iteroparous species is a species that ...

Genetic divergence and aggressiveness within a supercolony of the invasive ant Linepithema humile [PDF]
Biological invasions constitute an opportunity to study the evolutionary processes behind species’ adaptations. The invasive potential of some species, like the Argentine ant (Linepithema humile), has likely been increasing because they show low ...

Virus infection suppresses Nicotiana benthamiana adaptive phenotypic plasticity. [PDF]
Competition and parasitism are two important selective forces that shape life-histories, migration rates and population dynamics. Recently, it has been shown in various pathosystems that parasites can modify intraspecific competition, thus generating an ...

Extrinsic Inter- and Intraspecific Competition in Parasitoid Wasps
The diverse ecology of parasitoids is shaped by extrinsic competition, i.e., exploitative or interference competition among adult females and males for hosts and mates. Adult females use an array of morphological, chemical, and behavioral mechanisms to engage in competition that may be either intra- or interspecific.

Intraspecific 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 ...
