Intraspecific trait changes have large impacts on community functional composition but do not affect ecosystem function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Plant functional traits can provide a mechanistic understanding of community responses to global change and of community effects on ecosystem functions.

Global dynamics and complex patterns in Lotka-Volterra systems: The effects of both local and nonlocal intraspecific and interspecific competitions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
We consider a Lotka-Volterra system with both local and nonlocal intraspecific and interspecific competitions, where nonlocal competitions depend on both spatial and temporal effects in a general form.

Smaller species but larger stages: Warming effects on inter‐ and intraspecific community size structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Global warming can alter size distributions of animal communities, but the contribution of size shifts within versus between species to such changes remains unknown.

Multiple facets of diversity effects on plant productivity: Species richness, functional diversity, species identity and intraspecific competition

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, 2019
1. Deciphering the mechanisms that drive variation in biomass production across plant communities of contrasting species composition and diversity is a main challenge of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning research.

Intraspecific interactions shift from competitive to facilitative across a low to high disturbance gradient in a salt marsh [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Disturbances are ubiquitous among salt marshes, and disturbances such as litter removal may form stressful environmental conditions. The stress-gradient hypothesis (SGH) predicts that the relative importance of facilitation and competition between ...

Effects of intraspecific competition on growth, architecture and biomass allocation of Quercus Liaotungensis

open access: yesJournal of Plant Interactions, 2019
Liaodong oak (Quercus liaotungensis) is an ecologically important tree species on the Loess Plateau in China that experiences strong intraspecific competition.

Antagonistic Effects of Intraspecific Cooperation and Interspecific Competition on Thermal Performance

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Abstract Understanding how climate-mediated biotic interactions shape thermal niche width is critical in an era of global change. Yet, most previous work on thermal niches has ignored detailed mechanistic information about the relationship between temperature and organismal performance, which can be described by a ...

Data from: The ecological importance of intraspecific variation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Human activity is causing wild populations to experience rapid trait change and local extirpation. The resulting effects on intraspecific variation could have substantial consequences for ecological processes and ecosystem services.

Size‐dependent and environment‐mediated shifts in leaf traits of a deciduous tree species in a subtropical forest

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Aims Understanding the joint effects of plant development and environment on shifts of intraspecific leaf traits will advance the understandings of the causes of intraspecific trait variation.

The effect of intraspecific variation and heritability on community pattern and robustness

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2016
Abstract Intraspecific trait variation is widespread in nature, yet its effects on community dynamics are not well understood. Here we explore the consequences of intraspecific trait variation for coexistence in two‐ and multispecies competitive communities.
