Community functional responses to soil and climate at multiple spatial scales: when does intraspecific variation matter?

PLoS ONE, 2014
Despite increasing evidence of the importance of intraspecific trait variation in plant communities, its role in community trait responses to environmental variation, particularly along broad-scale climatic gradients, is poorly understood.

Trait-Based Community Assembly along an Elevational Gradient in Subalpine Forests: Quantifying the Roles of Environmental Factors in Inter- and Intraspecific Variability.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Understanding how communities respond to environmental variation is a central goal in ecology. Plant communities respond to environmental gradients via intraspecific and/or interspecific variation in plant functional traits.

Variation and association of leaf traits for desert plants in the arid area, northwest China

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Characterizing variation and association of plant traits is critical for understanding plant adaptation strategies and community assembly mechanisms. However, little is known about the leaf trait variations of desert plants and their association with ...

Intraspecific phenotypic variability of plant functional traits in contrasting mountain grasslands habitats [PDF]

, 2013
Empirical studies that link plants intraspecific variation to environmental conditions are almost lacking, despite their relevance in understanding mechanisms of plant adaptation, in predicting the outcome of environmental change and in conservation ...

Structure analysis of the ribosomal intergenic spacer region of Phaeoacremonium italicum as a study model

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2021
Increasing recognition of novel Phaeoacremonium species, and their recent taxonomic reassignment through phylogeny based on the β-tubulin and actin genes, have highlighted the presence of paraphyly, intraspecific variation, and incongruence of some ...

Reproductive isolation between two populations of Aglaoctenus lagotis , a funnel-web wolf spider [PDF]

, 2015
Aglaoctenus lagotis (Lycosidae: Sosippinae) is a spider that, in contrast to the predominant wandering habit of the family, constructs funnel webs.

Intraspecific variation in sperm size characters [PDF]

Heredity, 1998
Interspecific variation in quantitative characters of sperm is considerable and can sometimes be related to aspects of sperm competition. In contrast, continuous intraspecific variation is often ignored; for example, many studies concentrate on measuring a species-typical sperm size.

The role of changes in environmental quality in multitrait plastic responses to environmental and social change in the model microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Intraspecific variation plays a key role in species' responses to environmental change; however, little is known about the role of changes in environmental quality (the population growth rate an environment supports) on intraspecific trait variation ...

Intraspecific variation in M1 enamel development in modern humans: implications for human evolution [PDF]

, 2008
The timing and sequence of enamel development, as well as enamel thickness, was documented for individual cusps (protoconid, hypoconid,metaconid, entoconid) in 15 unworn permanent lower first molars (M1s) from a sample of modern human juveniles.

Highly Evolvable: Investigating Interspecific and Intraspecific Venom Variation in Taipans (Oxyuranus spp.) and Brown Snakes (Pseudonaja spp.)

Toxins, 2023
Snake venoms are complex mixtures of toxins that differ on interspecific (between species) and intraspecific (within species) levels. Whether venom variation within a group of closely related species is explained by the presence, absence and/or relative ...
