This literature shows that symbiogenesis, interspecific fusions (hybridogenesis, gene transfers of various types, karyotypic fissioning, and other forms of acquisition of "foreign genomes" or epigenesis) are more important than the slow gradual accumulation of mutation or sexual mergers. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Although every living thing eventually goes extinct in the face of changes ranging from ice ages to interspecific competition, the fossil record shows that while some species debut and are booed off the stage, there are others -- cockroaches and sharks come to mind -- whose dance with time is more waltz than jitterbug. ❋ Arthur Rosenfeld (2011)

It's not often I actually get excited by bivariate scatter plots, linear regression equations, and correlation coefficients, but the Archaeopteryx note is quite good, basically Bennett's defence of his interpretation of the nine known specimens of the taxon as a single "species," following from an awareness of interspecific variation resulting from ontogeny and, also, concerns about parsimony. ❋ Sovay (2008)

They put it this way: “interspecific communication between dogs and cats is problematic, stemming from their separate evolutionary development and their different social structures.” ❋ Ewillett (2008)

So they set out to find out from people who had successfully joined cats and dogs together in the same household what made “interspecific communication” work in those instances. ❋ Ewillett (2008)

Many arctic plant characteristics are likely to enable plants to cope with abiotic selective pressures (e.g., climate) more than biotic pressures (e.g., interspecific competition). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Not surprisingly, trying to understand the effects of interspecific interactions is much harder when species are living in complex communities than when we are studying the effects of ecological interactions two species at a time. ❋ Unknown (2009)

When resources are limited individuals will be expected to complete not only with members of their own species (intraspecific competition) but also with members of other species (interspecific competition). ❋ Unknown (2009)
