Abstract Aim Extinctions and coextinctions seriously threaten global plant–pollinator assemblies, thus a better understanding of the geographic variability in their robustness is urgently required. Although patterns species extinction rates are frequently explored, it remains largely unknown how subsequent coextinction risk varies across environments. We hypothesize that variation network to extinctions mediated by modularity – tendency be organized modules strongly interacting because...
Plant recruitment interactions (i.e., what recruits under what) shape the composition, diversity, and structure of plant communities. Despite huge body knowledge on mechanisms underlying among species, we still know little about networks emerging in ecological Modeling analyzing community-level as a complex network can provide relevant information evolutionary processes acting both at species ecosystem levels. We report data set containing 143 23 countries across five continents, including...
It is well known that interactions between organisms are the key to species coexistence and biodiversity maintenance.Traditional studies focused overwhelmingly on direct pairs, ignoring more complex indirect interactions.In this review, we first distinguished two types of interactions, i.e. interaction chains higher-order (HOIs).Then reviewed definition including hard-HOIs soft-HOIs, HOIs among multiple trophic levels within a single level.In food-web literature (among levels), ecologists...
Abstract Plants respond differently to the identity of their neighbors, such as sex and kinship, showing plasticity in traits. However, how functional traits dioecious trees are shaped by recognition neighbors with different kinship remains unknown. In this study, we set up an experiment kin/nonkin inter/intrasexual combinations for a tree species, Diospyros morrisiana . The results showed that plants grew better nonkin intrasexual than kin intersexual neighbors. Kin had significantly...
Background & Aims: Interactions between organisms, especially competitive interactions, are of central importance to species coexistence and biodiversity maintenance.Previous studies focused primarily on pairwise competition amongst species, which often failed explain the maintenance in communities.Intransitive competition, similar 'rock-paper-scissors' game, is acknowledged as an important alternative mechanism has recently garnered attention researchers.Progress: First, we reviewed...
A new species of Paracleistostoma De Man, 1895, P. meilanense n. sp. is reported from mangroves forests in Haikou, Hainan Province, China. The inhabits mud burrows the upper intertidal zone and sympatric with tomentosa Yang & Sun, 1993, depressum 1895. slender chelipeds as well characteristic morphology male first pleopod easily distinguishes congeners.
Soil microbes have long been recognized to substantially affect the coexistence of pairwise plant species across terrestrial ecosystems. However, projecting their impacts on multispecies systems remains a pressing challenge. To address this challenge, we conducted greenhouse experiment with 540 seedlings five tree in subtropical forest China and evaluated microbial effects using structural method, which quantifies how structure interactions influences likelihood for multiple persist....
ABSTRACT Plant–plant interactions are major determinants of the dynamics terrestrial ecosystems. There is a long tradition in study these interactions, their mechanisms and consequences using experimental, observational theoretical approaches. Empirical studies overwhelmingly focus at level species pairs or small sets species. Although empirical data on community scarce, such have gained pace last decade. Studying plant–plant requires knowledge which interact with others, so an ecological...
AbstractThe web of interactions in a community drives the coevolution species. Yet it is unclear how outcome species influences coevolutionary dynamics communities. This pressing matter, as changes to may become more common with human-induced global change. Here, we combine network and evolutionary theory explore outcomes communities harboring mutualistic antagonistic interactions. We show that ratio decreases, selection imposed by direct partners outweighs indirect partners. weakening...
Abstract Species interactions have evolved from antagonistic to mutualistic and back several times throughout life’s history. Yet, it is unclear how changes in the type of interaction between species alter coevolutionary dynamics entire communities. This a pressing matter, as transitions mutualisms antagonisms may be becoming more common with human-induced global change. Here, we combine network evolutionary theory simulate shifts types coevolution empirical We show that networks shift...
Abstract Climate change is known to negatively impact tropical forests; yet how climate impacts tree community persistence at local scales remains less clear. Using data from a long-term forest census plot over 25 years, we constructed plant- plant interaction networks based on growth. We then quantified as feasibility domain of constituent species using recently developed frameworks structural stability. found decrease in stability under warming and precipitation changes time evidenced by...
Plants respond differently to neighbor identity showing plasticity in traits. However, solid experiment evidence on the functional traits of dioecious trees shaped by recognition neighbors with different gender and kinship is scarce. Here we examined sexual interactions a tree species, Diospyros morrisiana, monoculturing pair-culturing seedlings transparent gel system. Our results showed that sex-specific competition kin interacted co-shaped D. morrisiana seedlings, especially root traits,...
