Shift in competitive ability mediated by soil biota in an invasive plant

open access: yesEcology 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.

Effects of Temporal Heterogeneity of Water Supply and Spatial Heterogeneity of Soil Nutrients on the Growth and Intraspecific Competition of Bolboschoenus yagara Depend on Plant Density

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Clonal plants may face various types of resource heterogeneity in their natural habitats; as such, spatial or temporal resource heterogeneity can affect the growth of clonal plants.

High intraspecific trait variation results in a resource allocation spectrum of a subtropical pine across an elevational gradient [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Aim: Plant functional traits are broadly used to quantify and predict impacts of climate change on vegetation. However, high intraspecific trait variation can bias mean values when few measurements are available.

Sublethal concentration of insecticide amplifies interference competition in a tortrix moth

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Insecticides are extensively used worldwide to kill insect pests, yet organisms are most often exposed to insecticides at sublethal concentrations. Our understanding of sublethal effects on life histories is needed to predict the impact of insecticides ...

Sagebrush recovery patterns after fuel treatments mediated by disturbance type and plant functional group interactions

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Fire and fuel management is a high priority in North American sagebrush ecosystems where the expansion of piñon and juniper trees and the invasion of nonnative annual grasses are altering fire regimes and resulting in loss of sagebrush species and ...

Variation in the relative magnitude of intraspecific and interspecific competitive effects in novel versus familiar environments in two Drosophila species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Models of competitor coevolution, especially the genetic feedback hypothesis, suggest that a negative correlation between intraspecific and interspecific competitive effects may be important in sustaining competitor coexistence, and can give rise to ...

Chemoprofiling as Breeding Tool for Pharmaceutical Use of Salix

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Willow bark is traditionally used for pharmaceutical purposes. Evaluation is so far based on the salicylate content, however, health promoting effects of extracts might be attributed to the interaction of those salicylates with other compounds, which ...

Uric acid metabolism modulates diet-dependent responses to intraspecific competition in Drosophila larvae

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary: Intraspecific competition drives ecological specialization, and niche expansion. In holometabolous insects, larval intraspecific competition (“crowding”) has lasting fitness consequences for individuals and shapes adaptive responses.

Effect of temperature on inter- and intraspecific isolates of Urotricha (Prostomatida, Ciliophora) [PDF]

open access: yesAquatic Microbial Ecology, 1998
Ecological models often presume that all members of a functional guild, e.g. herbivorous ciliates, respond identically to temperature changes. To test this general assumption, we investigated if planktonic ciliates within the genus Urotricha exhibit distinct inter-and intraspecific responses to temperature. We examined the response of growth rate, cell
