Size differences predict niche and relative fitness differences between phytoplankton species but not their coexistence
I Gallego, P Venail, BW Ibelings - The ISME journal, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Here we aim to incorporate trait-based information into the modern coexistence framework
that comprises a balance between stabilizing (niche-based) and equalizing (fitness) …

Responsiveness of plants to mycorrhiza regulates coexistence
Association of plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi may act as either an equalizing
or a stabilizing mechanism of coexistence, but the effect of the symbiosis likely depends on …

Trophic isotopic carbon variation increases with pond's hydroperiod: evidence from an Austral ephemeral ecosystem
Trophic variation in food web structure occurs among and within ecosystems. The
magnitude of variation, however, differs from system to system. In ephemeral pond …
