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 ...

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 ...

Ecological Opportunity In Adaptive Radiation Of Galapagos Endemic Land Snails [PDF]
, 2009 The classic evolutionary hypothesis of ecological opportunity proposes that both heterogeneity of resources and freedom from enemies promote phenotypic divergence as a response to increased niche availability.

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 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 ...

Resource Mediated Competition of two South Texas Natives: _Acacia berlandieri_ and _Trichloris pluriflora_ [PDF]
, 2009 *Background/Question/Methods* _Acacia berlandieri_, an early-successional C~3~ woody shrub legume, and _Trichloris pluriflora_, a late-successional/climax C~4~ mid-tall grass, reside in similar habitats and have both been documented in Texas ...
