Abstract: Abstract We present comments on an article published by Villacañas de Castro and Hoffmeister (Ecology and Evolution, 10, 4220; 2020). The authors studied a tritrophic system composed of a plant, its pollinating seed predator, and… read more here.

Effects of intraspecific competition and body mass on diet specialization in a mammalian scavenger

Abstract: Abstract Animals that rely extensively on scavenging rather than hunting must exploit resources that are inherently patchy, dangerous, or subject to competition. Though it may be expected that scavengers should therefore form opportunistic feeding habits… read more here.

Role of intraspecific competition in intrinsic growth rate regulation in an Oikopleura dioica (Tunicata) population

DOI: 10.1007/s00343-020-0071-0
Abstract: Planktonic Oikopleura dioica respond almost instantly to opportunistic algal blooms, but it is unknown whether the population increase can change from an exponential to a logistic model to avoid a final sudden collapse. To test… read more here.

Time-lagged intraspecific competition in temporally separated cohorts of a generalist insect

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4067-9
Abstract: Competition can have far-reaching consequences for insect fitness and dispersion. Time-lagged interspecific competition is known to negatively affect fitness, yet time-lagged intraspecific competition is rarely studied outside of outbreak conditions. We tested the impact of… read more here.

From individuals to populations: How intraspecific competition shapes thermal reaction norms

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.13516
Abstract: Most ectotherms follow the temperature‐size rule (TSR): in cold environments individuals grow slowly but reach a large asymptotic length. Intraspecific competition can induce plastic changes of growth rate and asymptotic length and competition may itself… read more here.
