"An example of the limitations of #interspecific patterns in #scaling studies is that they remain unconnected from the primary assumption that there is #StabilizingSelection for a constant #allometric #exponent of ¾ and #NaturalSelection acts within populations, not between species."

Li used #plant traits (plant height, leaf thickness, #SLA , #LDMC ) from 26 species in a #globalchange #grassland #experiment to disentangle #intraspecific and #interspecific components of #dominance and #complementarity and their impact on productivity. We studied how #warming and #nitrogen fertilization impact community functional #composition and #diversity at intra- and interspecific level and how this in turn affects aboveground #productivity.

a short introduction:
- I'm working at the Research Departement of the French Office for Biodiversity (#OFB), I'm aresearch fellow in #population #dynamics (#abundance estimation of unmarked pop, vital rate estimation using #CMR and/or Integrated Pop Model)
- switching to #interspecific relationship, esp. pred-prey relationship linked to evolution of farmland #landscape
model sp: Eur. #hare + #mesopredator, corvids, small mammals
