Effects of intraspecific cooperative interactions in large ecosystems [PDF]
SciPost Physics, 2022 We analyze the role of the Allee effect, a positive correlation between population density and mean individual fitness, for ecological communities formed by a large number of species. Our study is performed using the generalized Lotka-Volterra model with

Quantifying interspecific and intraspecific diversity effects on ecosystem functioning.
Ecology, 2023 Rapid environmental changes result in massive biodiversity loss with detrimental consequences for the functioning of ecosystems. Recent studies suggest that intraspecific diversity can contribute to ecosystem functioning to an extent comparable to ...

Divergent Functional Roles of Shredder Size: Interspecific Versus Intraspecific Effects on Aquatic Leaf Litter Decomposition. [PDF]
Ecol EvolBiodiversity underpins ecosystem functioning, and higher diversity of taxa and traits often enhances efficiency. However, such relationships may vary, as intraspecific variation—including differences across ontogenetic stages—can modulate a taxon's ...

Anticipated effects of abiotic environmental change on intraspecific social interactions
Biological Reviews, 2021 Social interactions are ubiquitous across the animal kingdom. A variety of ecological and evolutionary processes are dependent on social interactions, such as movement, disease spread, information transmission, and density‐dependent reproduction and ...

Intraspecific diversity buffers the inhibitory effects of soil biota.
Ecology, 2016 AbstractPlant community productivity can increase with increasing intraspecific genotypic diversity. Previous studies have attributed the genetic diversity–productivity pattern to differential resource use among genotypes, as many studies have found for species.

Intraspecific higher order interactions enhance ecological community stability [PDF]
Scientific ReportsEcosystem stability is influenced by interspecific interactions, with recent research focusing on how third-party species modify these interactions.

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2021 Collective behaviors are typical for many social species and can have fitness benefits for participating individuals. To maximize the benefits obtained from group living, individuals must coordinate their behaviors to some extent. What are the mechanisms

BMC Plant Biology, 2022 Background Inter- and intraspecific variation in plant traits play an important role in grassland community assembly under global change scenarios. However, explorations of how these variations contribute to the responses of community traits to nitrogen (

Crozier’s Effect and the Acceptance of Intraspecific Brood Parasites [PDF]
Current Biology, 2018 Organisms can often benefit by distinguishing between different classes of individuals. An example is kin recognition, whereby individuals preferentially associate with or aid genetic relatives that bear matching recognition cues but reject others. Despite its potential benefits, however, kin recognition using genetically based cues is often weak or ...

Habitat isolation reduces intra- and interspecific biodiversity and stability
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Fragmentation is predicted to reduce biodiversity and stability by increasing habitat isolation and impeding dispersal among patches. These effects may manifest at both the interspecific and intraspecific levels, yet few studies have simultaneously ...
