phenomenon

morphological differentiation

Differences in physical characteristics, particularly head capsule size, between coexisting species

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

nonrandom species loss

Species loss that is targeted at species with traits that make them particularly vulnerable to environmental change

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

novel host plant

A plant species recently introduced to an environment that herbivorous insects may exploit as a new resource

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

omnivory

Animals which feed on both plant and prey sources, allowing them to effect multiple trophic levels within a food web

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

perch sharing

Use of the same elevated vantage points by different individuals or species for predator detection

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

pollinator assemblage transition

Shift from bee-dominated pollinator communities at lower elevations to fly-dominated communities at higher elevations

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

pollinator behavior modification

Changes in pollinator foraging patterns, preferences, and physiology in response to ethanol presence in nectar and honey

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

positive frequency dependence

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

predation risk

Risk of being consumed by predators, which differs between fish-containing and fishless streams

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

prey aggregation

The clustering of prey organisms in particular locations or habitats

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

rarity

Species characterized by low local abundance and small geographic range size

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

resource availability

The availability of food resources which may affect severity of ectoparasitic infestation, manipulated through food supplementation treatments

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

solitary bees

Bee species where females provision individual nests independently, comprising over 85% of bee species but receiving less research attention than eusocial species.

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

specialist herbivore

Herbivorous insects that have evolved to feed on glucosinolate-producing plants without deleterious consequences

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

stooling

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

temporal scale-dependence

The degree to which network structural properties vary depending on the temporal scale at which data are aggregated and analyzed

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

temporally forbidden links

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

vegetation density patterns

Spatial distribution of plant species abundance in relation to ant nest locations

community ecology1 paper
phenomenon

whirling disease
