Plant genotype, nutrients, and G3 E interactions structure floral visitor communities
Intraspecific variation in plants is driven by both genetic and environmental factors and has been shown to play an important role in determining assemblages of herbivores, predators, and pathogens. Yet, the consequences of genetic (G) and environmental (E) factors, as well as potential (G3E) interactions, for floral visitor communities remains poorly explored. In a common garden experiment, we...
متن کاملStrain Identity of the Ectomycorrhizal Fungus Laccaria bicolor Is More Important than Richness in Regulating Plant and Fungal Performance under Nutrient Rich Conditions
Effects of biodiversity on productivity are more likely to be expressed when there is greater potential for niche complementarity. In soil, chemically complex pools of nutrient resources should provide more opportunities for niche complementarity than chemically simple pools. Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal genotypes can exhibit substantial variation in nutrient acquisition traits and are key comp...
متن کاملCanopy herbivory can mediate the influence of plant genotype on soil processes through frass deposition
The ecosystem consequences of intraspecific genetic variation is an emerging field of research that strengthens the link between population and ecosystem ecology. Despite recent advances, it remains unclear under what conditions (abiotic and biotic) plant genetic variation will be important to belowground processes. Forest canopy herbivores can have large influences on soil processes by alterin...
متن کاملIntraspecific plant–soil feedback and intraspecific overyielding in Arabidopsis thaliana
Understanding the mechanisms of community coexistence and ecosystem functioning may help to counteract the current biodiversity loss and its potentially harmful consequences. In recent years, plant-soil feedback that can, for example, be caused by below-ground microorganisms has been suggested to play a role in maintaining plant coexistence and to be a potential driver of the positive relations...
متن کاملNon-Additive Effects of Genotypic Diversity Increase Floral Abundance and Abundance of Floral Visitors
BACKGROUND In the emerging field of community and ecosystem genetics, genetic variation and diversity in dominant plant species have been shown to play fundamental roles in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function. However, the importance of intraspecific genetic variation and diversity to floral abundance and pollinator visitation has received little attention. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL F...
