Organisms interact with their environments in various ways. We present a conceptual
framework that distinguishes three mechanisms of organism–environment interaction. We …

Marine algae, both macro and micro, have gained increasing attention for their numerous
ecosystem service functions, such as food and raw materials provision and climate change …

Suitable conditions for species to survive and reproduce constitute their ecological niche,
which is built by abiotic conditions and interactions with conspecifics and heterospecifics …

Individual specialization and generalization refer to the breadth of prey types consumed by
predators among all available prey. The ecological factors mechanistically determining …

In this paper I develop a concept of behavioural ecological individuality. Using findings from
a case study which employed qualitative methods, I argue that individuality in behavioural …

Pollen, particularly from the Ambrosia genus, plays a pivotal role in triggering allergic
rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms. This review delves into the global background of Ambrosia …

Success in sperm competition is an important determinant of male fitness in mating systems
with female multiple mating. Thus, sperm competition risk represents a key dimension of the …

Dietary specialisations are important determinants of ecological structure, particularly in
species with high per‐capita trophic influence like marine apex predators. These species …

Animals compete for limited resources such as food, mating partners, and territory. The
outcome of this intraspecific competition should be determined by individual variation in …

Individual niche specialization is widespread in natural populations and has key
implications for higher levels of biological organization. This phenomenon, however, has …
