Plant traits respond to the competitive neighbourhood at different spatial and temporal scales.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Clonal plants can plastically modify their traits in response to competition, but little is known regarding the spatio-temporal scale at which a competitive neighbourhood determines the variability in species traits. This study tests the hypothesis that the local neighbourhood can be expected to influence the processes that are involved in competition tolerance and avoidance...
متن کاملBt crops benefit natural enemies to control non-target pests
Crops producing insecticidal crystal (Cry) proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) control important lepidopteran pests. However, pests such as aphids not susceptible to Cry proteins may require other integrated pest management (IPM) tactics, including biological control. We fed aphids on Bt and non-Bt plants and analyzed the Bt protein residue in aphids and compared the effects of Bt plants ...
متن کاملSoil Bacteria and Fungi Respond on Different Spatial Scales to Invasion by the Legume Lespedeza cuneata
The spatial scale on which microbial communities respond to plant invasions may provide important clues as to the nature of potential invader-microbe interactions. Lespedeza cuneata (Dum. Cours.) G. Don is an invasive legume that may benefit from associations with mycorrhizal fungi; however, it has also been suggested that the plant is allelopathic and may alter the soil chemistry of invaded si...
متن کاملChemical Organizations at Different Spatial Scales
The dynamics of spatial reaction systems that consists of many molecular species can be difficult to understand. Here we introduce a method that allows to observe the dynamics of a diverse spatial reaction system at different spatial scales. Using chemical organization theory we define for a given spatial location its so called spatial organization, which is the organization generated by the mo...
متن کاملDoes predation risk influence habitat use by northern redbelly dace Phoxinus eos at different spatial scales?
This study investigated the relationship between spatial variations in predation risk and abundance of northern redbelly dace Phoxinus eos at both macroscale (littoral v. pelagic zones) and microscale (structured v. open water habitats in the littoral zone) of Canadian Shield lakes. Minnow traps were placed in both structured and open water habitats in the littoral zone of 13 Canadian Shield la...
