Interspecific differences in developmental mode determine early cognitive abilities in teleost fish
Most studies on developmental variation in cognition have suggested that individuals are born with reduced or absent cognitive abilities, and...

Learning in advance? Interspecific recognition ability in male Eurasian blackcaps
Interspecific aggression is common in bird communities. It is thought to be a consequence of learned behavior or misdirected intraspecific...

Selected Examples of Interactions Between Natural Disturbances
Understanding natural disturbance regimes and their impacts is crucial in designing ecosystem management strategies. However, disturbances do not... -
Production and characterization of a novel interspecific somatic hybrid combining drought tolerance and high quality of sweet potato and Ipomoea triloba L.
Key messageA novel interspecific somatic hybrid combining drought tolerance and high quality of sweet potato and
Ipomoea triloba L. was obtained and... -
Interspecific hybridization as a driver of fungal evolution and adaptation
Cross-species gene transfer is often associated with bacteria, which have evolved several mechanisms that facilitate horizontal DNA exchange....

NightWarming Affecting Interspecific Interactions: Implications for Biological Control
Climate warming is largely attributed to a substantial increase in nighttime rather than in daytime temperatures. However, previous studies... -
Interspecific and intraspecific foraging differentiation of neighbouring tropical seabirds
BackgroundSocial interactions, reproductive demands and intrinsic constraints all influence foraging decisions in animals. Understanding the relative...

Camera traps reveal interspecific differences in the diel and seasonal patterns of cicada nymph predation
Cicadas, a group of large-bodied insects, are preyed upon at both nymphal and adult stages by diverse range of vertebrates such as birds and mammals....

Intraspecific competitive interactions rapidly evolve via spontaneous mutations
Using a mechanistic spatially explicit trait-based neighborhood-model, we quantify the impact of mutations on intraspecific spatial interactions to...

Interspecific Encounters Among Diurnal Primates in Danum Valley, Borneo
Polyspecific associations, in which individuals of multiple species move together, have not been reported in Asian primates. However, only one study...

Interspecific facilitation of micronutrient uptake between cluster-root-bearing trees and non-cluster rooted-shrubs in a Banksia woodland
Background and aimsBelowground interspecific plant facilitation is supposed to play a key role in enabling species co-existence in hyperdiverse...

High densities of conspecifics buffer native fish from negative interactions with an ecologically similar invasive
Invasive species are a leading cause for native species declines, yet it remains unclear whether maintenance of high native densities influence...

It is about time: effects of thermal fluctuations resulting from climate change on trophic interactions with a focus on host–parasitoid interactions
Climate change alters many environmental parameters with strong consequences for ecological interactions, from species interactions to community...

Warming significantly inhibited the competitive advantage of native plants in interspecific competition under phosphorus deposition
AimsGlobal warming, phosphorus deposition, and biological invasion have become major environmental problems. Most studies have analyzed the main...

An apoptosis-inducing factor controls programmed cell death and laccase expression during fungal interactions
AbstractApoptotic-like programmed cell death (PCD) is one of the main strategies for fungi to resist environmental stresses and maintain homeostasis....

Response of a mesocarnivore community to a new food resource: recognition, exploitation, and interspecific competition
Mammalian carnivores with generalist feeding behaviour should trace and exploit new and predictable food resources quicker and more easily than more...

Interspecific competition and comparative cold tolerance in two egg parasitoids of sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps
Trissolcus spp. are egg parasitoids of sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae). Direct (extrinsic) competition between...

The interspecific variation of plant traits in brassicas engenders stronger aphid suppression than the intraspecific variation of single plant trait
Increasing either inter- or intraspecific plant diversity has shown the potential to engender bottom-up and top-down effects upon herbivorous pests....

Chemical cues for intraspecific chemical communication and interspecific interactions in aquatic environments: applications for fisheries and aquaculture
Aquatic organisms detect chemical cues to sense the local environment, for example, to find a mate, locate food, and identify danger. Knowledge of...
