Intraspecific trait changes have large impacts on community functional composition but do not affect ecosystem function [PDF]
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]
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]
Global warming can alter size distributions of animal communities, but the contribution of size shifts within versus between species to such changes remains unknown.

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]
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 ...

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]
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.

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