Intraspecific variation in foundation species such as mangroves (above), corals, and kelp forests serves to maintain ecosystem resilience in the face of a rapidly changing climate. (Photo by Simone ...

1. Despite widespread focus on interspecific variation in trait-based ecology, there is growing evidence that intraspecific trait variability can play a fundamental role in plant community responses ...

In ecology, competition is defined as a type of negative interaction that occurs when resources are in short supply. Intraspecific competition occurs when individuals of the same species compete for ...

Intraspecific variation is abundant in all types of systematic characters but is rarely addressed in simulation studies of phylogenetic method performance. We compared the accuracy of 15 phylogenetic ...
