Age and moisture affect the relationship between competition and tree growth by Xinyu Han, Lushuang Gao, Mingqian Liu, Yihong Zhu, Keda Cui, Xinyu Zhang, Xiuhai Zhao, Ruibo Zhang, Klaus von Gadow, Yiyu Tian, Kangchen Wang

“…Additionally, the negative impact of competition on tree crown size is more pronounced in high moisture regions, and larches experiencing crown reduction under intense competition exhibit a heightened sensitivity to water availability. Our findings provide robust evidence that competition indirectly influences tree growth by modifying their phenotypic traits. …”

Daedalus Mega-ichnosites: The Armorican Quartzite Bridge between Villuercas-Ibores-Jara and Naturtejo UNESCO Global Geoparks by Carlos Neto de Carvalho, Andrea Baucon, Ivan Cortijo, Soren Jensen, Jose Maria Barrera, Javier Lopez Caballero

“…However, the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) was responsible for the complexification of food webs, increasing depth and diversity of substrate ecospace utilization and increasing benthic competition for resources near the water-substrate interface. Daedalus is an enigmatic trace fossil that precedes this period of nearshore innovation and its disappearance is probably related to the escalation in tiering complexity, especially among benthic surficial feeders, that may have cut access to their main food sources. …”
