Grasses and the resource availability hypothesis: the importance of silica-based defences [PDF]
, 2007 The resource availability hypothesis (RAH) predicts that allocation of resources to anti-herbivore defences differs between species according to their growth rate.

Isotopic niche variability in macroconsumers of the East Scotia Ridge (Southern Ocean) hydrothermal vents: What more can we learn from an ellipse? [PDF]
, 2016 Aspects of between-individual trophic niche width can be explored through the isotopic niche concept. In many cases isotopic variability can be influenced by the scale of sampling and biological characteristics including body size or sex.

Identifying environmental correlates of intraspecific genetic variation [PDF]
Heredity, 2016 Genetic variation is critical to the persistence of populations and their capacity to adapt to environmental change. The distribution of genetic variation across a species' range can reveal critical information that is not necessarily represented in species occurrence or abundance patterns. We identified environmental factors associated with the amount

Intraspecific variability in functional traits matters : case study of Scots pine [PDF]
, 2014 Although intraspecific trait variability is an important component of species ecological plasticity and niche breadth, its implications for community and functional ecology have not been thoroughly explored.

Variation in δ13C and δ15N within and among plant species in the alpine tundra
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2021 Ratios of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stable isotopes in plants are important indicators of intrinsic water use efficiency and N acquisition strategies.

Rescuing intraspecific variation in human‐impacted environments
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2020 Abstract Anthropogenic activities influence ongoing selective regimes leading to changes in phenotypic variation of plants and animals. The reduction of phenotypic variation may decrease populations' ability to cope with environmental changes.

A new species of Peckia (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) from Costa Rica : with a note on P. pexata (Wulp) [PDF]
, 2000 A new species of Peckia Robineau-Desvoidy is described from the coastal dry forest of Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, viz., Pechia glyphis sp.n., and a key to the ten species of Peckia known from the area is provided.

InsectsIntraspecific variation is ubiquitous from individual traits to population level and plays an important role in a variety of fields. However, it is often ignored by systematists and comparative evolutionary biologists. In view of the limited knowledge of
