Strain Identity of the Ectomycorrhizal Fungus Laccaria bicolor Is More Important than Richness in Regulating Plant and Fungal Performance under Nutrient Rich Conditions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Effects of biodiversity on productivity are more likely to be expressed when there is greater potential for niche complementarity. In soil, chemically complex pools of nutrient resources should provide more opportunities for niche complementarity than ...

On the use of ultraviolet photography and ultraviolet wing patterns in butterfly morphology and taxonomy [PDF]

, 2000
In a series of feeding experiments we found that, depending on the larval food plant species or part of food plant ingested, individuals of the blue butterfly Polyommatus icarus (Lycaenidae) exhibit broad variation of wing patterns in the ultraviolet (UV)

Endogenous and exogenous constraints in the population changes of wild boar (sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758) [PDF]

, 2004
The population dynamics of wild boar (Sus scrofa) was studied in a time series over 26 years using data from the Regional Hunting Reserve of Somiedo (northern Spain).

Metrics, scales, and correlates of intraspecific variation in hypoxia tolerance in fishes

Frontiers in Fish Science
The extent of aquatic hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen) has increased in recent times and now threatens aquatic habitats worldwide. Here, we review intraspecific variation in hypoxia tolerance in fish on various scales: geographic variation among ...

Dynamic microsatellites in transcribed regions of gastropod mitochondrial 16S rDNA [PDF]

, 2006
Length variations of repetitive sequences in different AT-rich loop-coding regions of mitochondrial 16S rDNA in two gastropod species were discovered during intraspecific haplotype surveys. Examination of the discrete length variation of the basic repeat

Cuticular hydrocarbon profiles reveal geographic chemotypes in stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini)

Scientific Reports
Cuticular hydrocarbon (CHCs) variation has been detected in various insect taxa, but the potential contribution of cuticular compounds for analyzing intraspecific diversity at the population level has been little explored.

Comparison of five Calligonum species in Tarim Basin based on morphological and molecular data [PDF]

, 2013
Five Calligonum species endemic to the Tarim Basin – C. roborowskii, C. kuerlese, C. juoqiangense, C. yengisaricum, and C. taklimakanense – were compared using 14 morphological characteristics and nrDNA ITS and cpDNA trnL-F molecular data.

Estimating above ground net biomass change in tropical and subtropical forests: refinement of IPCC default values using forest plot data [PDF]

, 2019
As countries advance in greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting for climate change mitigation, consistent estimates of above ground biomass (AGB) net change are needed for the tropics and subtropics.

Occurrence and morphological variability of Hydra (Hydroida: Hydridae) in freshwater bodies of Southeast of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina

Acta Zoológica Lilloana
Hydra constitutes a monophyletic clade of sessile and solitary polyps that occur on all continents except Antarctica. Despite its widespread presence in freshwater habitats, Hydra requires reasonably unpollut- ed conditions for survival, making its ...

Does local soil factor drive functional leaf trait variation? A test on Neilingding Island, South China

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Leaf traits were affected by soil factors and displayed varietal differences in forest. However, few examples have been reported on the Island ecosystems.
