Small rodent cycles influence interactions among predators in a boreal forest ecosystem
Cyclic fluctuations of prey have profound effects on the functioning of ecosystems, for example, by changing the dynamics, behavior, and intraguild...

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....

Behavioural interactions between a threatened native killifish and the alien invasive Eastern mosquitofish
Behavioural interactions between alien invasive fishes and native fishes is considered one of the drivers of native fish decline. However, there are...

Plant Species Interactions in the Rhizosphere Increase Maize N and P Acquisition and Maize Yields in Intercrop**
The aim of the study was to examine interspecific plant interactions that contribute to plant nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) acquisition and are...

The hybrid lethality of interspecific F1 hybrids of Nicotiana: a clue to understanding hybrid inviability—a major obstacle to wide hybridization and introgression breeding of plants
Reproductive isolation poses a major obstacle to wide hybridization and introgression breeding of plants. Hybrid inviability in the postzygotic...

Bacterial–fungal interactions promote parallel evolution of global transcriptional regulators in a widespread Staphylococcus species
Experimental studies of microbial evolution have largely focused on monocultures of model organisms, but most microbes live in communities where...

Dynamic social interactions and keystone species shape the diversity and stability of mixed-species biofilms – an example from dairy isolates
Identifying interspecies interactions in mixed-species biofilms is a key challenge in microbial ecology and is of paramount importance given that...

A Methodology for the Study of Interspecific Cohabitation Issues in the City
The present article will introduce a proposition of semiotic methodology that can be used to diagnose cohabitation issues in cities between human...

Beneficial properties of mucus in coral adaptations and ecological interactions
Coral mucus secreted by mucocytes provides a protective physicochemical and physiological barrier between coral tissue and external environmental...

Influence of phylogenetic diversity of plant communities on tri-trophic interactions
Phylogenetic diversity of plant communities can influence the interaction between plants, herbivores, and their natural enemies. Plant communities...

Intraspecific and interspecific variations in the synonymous codon usage in mitochondrial genomes of 8 pleurotus strains
In this study, we investigated the codon bias of twelve mitochondrial core protein coding genes (PCGs) in eight Pleurotus strains, two of which are...

Ecological interactions of carnivorous plants: beyond the relationship with their prey
The carnivorous habit has been interpreted as an outstanding adaptation that let some plants the acquisition of mineral nutrients in habitats...

Interspecific pollen transport between non-native fennel and an island endemic buckwheat: assessment of the magnet effect
Non-native plant species can disrupt plant–pollinator interactions by altering pollinator foraging behavior, which can in turn affect levels of...

Rising temperatures affect the interspecific interference competition between Harmonia axyridis and Propylea japonica, and their predation rate on Myzus persicae
Rising temperatures can enhance foraging activity and accelerate the encounter rate of different predators, which may increase their interference...

Strong ethanol- and frequency-dependent ecological interactions in a community of wine-fermenting yeasts
Natural wine fermentation depends on a complex consortium of native microorganisms rather than inoculation of industrial yeast strains. While this...

Interspecific competition amongst three species of large-bodied diving beetles: is the species with expanded distribution an active swimmer and a better forager?
The poleward range expansion of species native to lower latitudes brings them into competition with closely related species with overlap** habitat...

Gossypium mustelinum genome and an introgression population enrich interspecific genetics and breeding in cotton
Key messageGenomic and genetic resources of G. mustelinum were effective for identifying genes for qualitative and quantitative traits.

Spatio-temporal interactions within a Mediterranean community of Mesocarnivores
Species segregations and associations regulate the stability of communities. The aim of this study is to determine the spatio-temporal structure of a...

Nutritional niche separation between native roe deer and the nonnative fallow deer—a test of interspecific competition
On an evolutionary time scale, competition for food drives species formation by genetic adaptations to the environment and subsequent niche...
