Space Use Variation in Co-Occurring Sister Species: Response to Environmental Variation or Competition?
Coexistence often involves niche differentiation either as the result of environmental divergence, or in response to competition. Disentangling the causes of such divergence requires that environmental variation across space is taken into account, which is rarely done in empirical studies. We address the role of environmental variation versus competition in coexistence between two rodent specie...
متن کاملSpace versus time variation in the population dynamics of three co-occurring perennial herbs
1 Many plant species are currently restricted to small and isolated populations as a result of habitat destruction and fragmentation. Lack of sufficient data often leads to spatial variation being substituted for temporal variation in models to evaluate management options, but variation in population growth rate ( λ ) between sites or over years may be caused by variation in different life hist...
متن کاملExpression of sexual ornaments in a polymorphic species: phenotypic variation in response to environmental risk.
Secondary sexual traits may evolve under the antagonistic context of sexual and natural selection. In some polymorphic species, these traits are only expressed during the breeding period and are differently expressed in alternative phenotypes. However, it is unknown whether such phenotypes exhibit phenotypic plasticity of seasonal ornamentations in response to environmental pressures such as in...
متن کاملPhenological response of sea turtles to environmental variation across a species' northern range.
Variations in environmental parameters (e.g. temperature) that form part of global climate change have been associated with shifts in the timing of seasonal events for a broad range of organisms. Most studies evaluating such phenological shifts of individual taxa have focused on a limited number of locations, making it difficult to assess how such shifts vary regionally across a species range. ...
