Substantial intraspecific trait variation across a hydrological gradient in northern Australian fishes [PDF]

Ecosphere, 2022
Trait‐based models of ecological communities and ecosystem functioning often fail to account for intraspecific variation in functional traits, assuming that intraspecific variability is negligible compared with interspecific variability.

Intraspecific diversity regulates fungal productivity and respiration. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Individuals and not just species are key components of biodiversity, yet the relationship between intraspecific diversity and ecosystem functioning in microbial systems remains largely untested.

Resource diversity mitigates the effects of intraspecific competition in co-occurring cryptic nematode species [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science
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 ...

The influence of timing and planting proportion on the intraspecific competitiveness ability of drunken horse grass (Achnatherum inebrians (Hance) Keng) by fungal endophyte infection [PDF]

Plant, Soil and Environment
Drunken horse grass (Achnatherum inebrians (Hance) Keng) is a toxic perennial bunchgrass native to Northwestern China. Epichloë endophytic fungi infection could enhance the stress tolerance of drunken horse grass.

Opposing intraspecific vs. interspecific diversity effects on herbivory and growth in subtropical experimental tree assemblages [PDF]

, 2017
Aims Positive plant diversity–ecosystem function relations are ultimately driven by variation in functional traits among individuals that form a community. To date, research has largely focused on the role of species diversity for ecosystem functioning.

Intraspecific priority effects in response to egg hatching delay in a pond-breeding salamander [PDF]

Scientific Reports
As reproduction phenologies shift with climate change, populations can experience intraspecific priority effects, wherein early hatching cohorts experience an advantage over late-hatching cohorts, resulting in altered demography.

Intraspecific leaf trait variation mediates edge effects on litter decomposition rate in fragmented forests [PDF]

, 2023
There is strong trait dependence in species-level responses to environmental change and their cascading effects on ecosystem functioning. However, there is little understanding of whether intraspecific trait variation (ITV) can also be an important ...

Resource composition mediates the effects of intraspecific variability in nutrient recycling on ecosystem processes [PDF]

, 2017
Despite the growing evidence for individual variation in trophic niche within populations, its potential indirect effects on ecosystem processes remains poorly understood. In particular, few studies have investigated how intraspecific trophic variability

Effects of intraspecific variation in a native species' phenology on its coexistence with non‐native plants [PDF]

, 2023
Intraspecific trait variation is ubiquitous and is likely to influence species coexistence. Despite theoretical progress, empirical work on the effects of intraspecific variation on the dynamics of competing species is rare.
