Landscape structure and population density affect intraspecific aggression in beavers [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Intraspecific competition plays an important role for territory acquisition and occupancy, in turn affecting individual fitness. Thus, understanding the drivers of intraspecific aggression can increase our understanding of population dynamics.

Phylogeny and intraspecific genetic structure of Lacerta strigata [PDF]
زیستشناسی کاربردی, 2018 Genus Lacerta belonging to family Lacertidae has eight species. Previous studies did not clarify the actual taxonomic situation of Lacerta strigata. The main purposes of the present study is to re-examine the phylogenetic relationship of green lizards ...

Intraspecific functional variability: extent, structure and sources of variation [PDF]
Journal of Ecology, 2010 Summary 1. Functional traits are increasingly used to investigate community structure, ecosystem functioning or to classify species into functional groups. These functional traits are expected to be variable between and within species.

INTRASPECIFIC VARIATION IN A PREDATOR AFFECTS COMMUNITY STRUCTURE AND CASCADING TROPHIC INTERACTIONS [PDF]
Ecology, 2008 Intraspecific phenotypic variation in ecologically important traits is widespread and important for evolutionary processes, but its effects on community and ecosystem processes are poorly understood. We use life history differences among populations of alewives, Alosa pseudoharengus, to test the effects of intraspecific phenotypic variation in a ...

Nested structure of intraspecific competition network in Carnobacterium maltaromaticum [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractWhile competition targeting food-borne pathogens is being widely documented, few studies have focused on competition among non-pathogenic food bacteria. Carnobacterium maltaromaticum is a genetically diverse lactic acid bacterium known for comprising several bacteriocinogenic strains with bioprotective potentialities against the food-borne ...

Intraspecific variation in plant‐associated herbivore communities is phylogenetically structured in Brassicaceae [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2021 Abstract As a result of co‐evolution between plants and herbivores, related plants often interact with similar herbivore communities. Variation in plant–herbivore interactions is determined by variation in underlying functional traits and by ecological and stochastic processes.

Intraspecific Genomic Divergence and Minor Structural Variations in Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis [PDF]
Genes, 2020 Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis is one of the most important Leishmania species associated with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Latin America. Despite its wide geographic distribution and pathogenic potential in humans and animals, the genomic variability of this species is low compared with other Leishmania species circulating in the same geographical

How disturbance and dispersal influence intraspecific structure [PDF]
Journal of Ecology, 2017 Abstract Recent studies have suggested that spatial patterns of intraspecific diversity can be influenced by density‐dependent processes, which can inhibit effective migration of new lineages to established populations. How mechanisms such as dispersal and disturbance influence these processes is, however, still poorly understood.

The impact of intraspecific variation on food web structure [PDF]
Ecology, 2018 AbstractAccounting for the variation that occurs within species in food webs can theoretically result in significant changes in both network structure and dynamics. However, there has been little work exploring their role with empirical data. In particular, the variation associated with species’ life cycles, which is prevalent and represents both trait
