Intraspecific trait variation and coordination: Root and leaf economics spectra in coffee across environmental gradients [PDF]
Hypotheses on the existence of a universal “Root Economics Spectrum” (RES) have received arguably the least attention of all trait spectra, despite the key role root trait variation plays in resource acquisition potential.

Ecological Opportunity In Adaptive Radiation Of Galapagos Endemic Land Snails [PDF]
The classic evolutionary hypothesis of ecological opportunity proposes that both heterogeneity of resources and freedom from enemies promote phenotypic divergence as a response to increased niche availability.

Background Inter- and intraspecific variation in plant traits play an important role in grassland community assembly under global change scenarios. However, explorations of how these variations contribute to the responses of community traits to nitrogen (

Intraspecific variability modulates interspecific variability in animal organismal stoichiometry. [PDF]
Interspecific differences in organismal stoichiometry (OS) have been documented in a wide range of animal taxa and are of significant interest for understanding evolutionary patterns in OS.

The good, the bad, and the ugly: the influence of skull reconstructions and intraspecific variability in studies of cranial morphometrics in theropods and Basal saurischians. [PDF]
Several studies investigating macroevolutionary skull shape variation in fossil reptiles were published recently, often using skull reconstructions taken from the scientific literature.

Intraspecific trait variation of woody species reduced in a savanna community, southwest China
Plants deploy various ecological strategies in response to environmental heterogeneity. In many forest ecosystems, plants have been reported to have notable inter- and intra-specific trait variation, as well as clear phylogenetic signals, indicating that

Balcus violaceus (Fabricius) : senior synonym of Balcus niger Sharp and B. signatus Broun (Coleoptera: Cleridae: Clerinae) [PDF]
The elytra of Balcus signatus Broun (Coleoptera: Cleridae: Clerinae) from New Zealand have pale markings. Such markings, most prominently found in females, represent intraspecific variations of Balcus violaceus (Fabricius).

Individualistic responses of forest herb traits to environmental change [PDF]
Intraspecific trait variation (ITV; i.e. variability in mean and/or distribution of plant attribute values within species) can occur in response to multiple drivers.

The Stabilizing Effect Of Intraspecific Genetic Variation On Population Dynamics In Novel And Ancestral Habitats [PDF]
Recent studies show that intraspecific genetic variation in asexual species may have large effects on community and ecosystem functions, increasing their stability, productivity, and species richness.

Intraspecific variation in thermal tolerance differs between tropical and temperate fishes
How ectothermic animals will cope with global warming is a critical determinant of the ecological impacts of climate change. There has been extensive study of upper thermal tolerance limits among fish species but how intraspecific variation in tolerance ...
