Intraspecific trait variation can weaken interspecific trait correlations when assessing the whole‐plant economic spectrum
The worldwide plant economic spectrum hypothesis predicts that leaf, stem, and root traits are correlated across vascular plant species because carbon gain depends on leaves being adequately supplied with water and nutrients, and because construction of each organ involves a trade-off between performance and persistence. Despite its logical and intuitive appeal, this hypothesis has received mix...
متن کاملTrophic consequences of introduced species: Comparative impacts of increased interspecific versus intraspecific competitive interactions
Invasive species can cause substantial ecological impacts on native biodiversity. While ecological theory attempts to explain the processes involved in the trophic integration of invaders into native food webs and their competitive impacts on resident species, results are equivocal. In addition, quantifying the relative strength of impacts from non-native species (interspecific competition) ver...
متن کاملInterspecific and Intraspecific Genetic Diversity of Thunnus Species
The genus Thunnus contains eight valid species with a fossil record extending back to the Middle Eocene, about 40 million years ago (Carrol, 1988, Benton, 1993). Collette (1978) distinguished tunas into the temperate subgenus Thunnus (bluefin tuna group) and the tropical subgenus Neothunnus (yellowfin group) by the presence or absence of a central heat exchanger. The yellowfin group contains bl...
متن کاملClimate, habitat, and species interactions at different scales determine the structure of a Neotropical bat community.
Climate, habitat, and species interactions are factors that control community properties (e.g., species richness, abundance) across various spatial scales. Usually, researchers study how a few properties are affected by one factor in isolation and at one scale. Hence, there are few multi-scale studies testing how multiple controlling factors simultaneously affect community properties at differe...
متن کاملDo intraspecific or interspecific interactions determine responses to predators feeding on a shared size-structured prey community?
Coexistence of predators that share the same prey is common. This is still the case in size-structured predator communities where predators consume prey species of different sizes (interspecific prey responses) or consume different size classes of the same species of prey (intraspecific prey responses). A mechanism has recently been proposed to explain coexistence between predators that differ ...
