Reproductive Interference in an Introduced Bumblebee: Polyandry may Mitigate Negative Reproductive Impact [PDF]
Insects, 2019 As a signature of reproductive interference (RI), we reviewed hybrid production in eusocial bumblebees in Japan, by comparing introduced Bombus terrestris with native B. ignitus in Honshu (main island of Japan) and with native B.

Conspecific pollen advantage mediated by the extragynoecial compitum and its potential to resist interspecific reproductive interference between two Sagittaria species [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The extragynoecial compitum formed by the incomplete fusion of carpel margins, while allowing intercarpellary growth of pollen tubes in apocarpous angiosperms, may also increase the risk of reproductive interference caused by heterospecific pollen (HP ...

Reproductive Interference and Niche Partitioning in Aphidophagous Insects [PDF]
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2016 The range and quality of prey species differ greatly among closely related species of predators. However, the factors responsible for this diversified niche utilization are unclear.

Reproductive interference hampers species coexistence despite conspecific sperm precedence [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Negative interspecific mating interactions, known as reproductive interference, can hamper species coexistence in a local patch and promote niche partitioning or geographical segregation of closely related species.

A generalized population dynamics model for reproductive interference with absolute density dependence [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Interspecific mating interactions, or reproductive interference, can affect population dynamics, species distribution and abundance. Previous population dynamics models have assumed that the impact of frequency-dependent reproductive interference depends

Phylogenetic Relatedness Determines Heterospecific Pollen–Pistil Compatibility and Reproductive Outcome in the Apocarpous Species Sagittaria trifolia (Alismataceae) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPollinator sharing among coflowering plants can reduce plant fitness through heterospecific pollen (HP) deposition. Compatible HP is expected to cause stronger reproductive interference, but the factors determining HP–pistil compatibility and its ...
