Hydrological niche separation between two coexisting shrubs in an extremely arid region by Mingyan Fan, Hai Zhou, Lihui Tian, Heng Ren, Bing Liu, Xibin Ji, Xiangyan Feng, Qiyue Yang, Huli Gu

“…Both species had a dynamic HNS, the hydrological niche overlap index exhibited a decreasing and then increasing trend; but HNS was low during the dry season, indicating that HNS was affected by precipitation. We conclude that the main reason why the two species can coexist in arid regions is their HNS, which avoid competition for limited water resources.…”

Spatial autocorrelation and host anemone species drive variation in local components of fitness in a wild clownfish population by Marrot, Pascal, Fauvelot, Cécile, Berumen, Michael L, Srinivasan, Maya, Jones, Geoffrey P, Planes, Serge, Pujol, Benoit

“…Previous work on the wild orange clownfish near Kimbe Island suggests that there is little adaptive potential and that variation in LRS is mainly driven by a breeder’s habitat. Whether the host anemone species, geographic location, density or depth contributed to LRS remains however unknown because they were combined into a unique variable. …”
