Intraspecific variability (IV) is crucial in shaping community dynamics and species coexistence. Modelling studies often represent IV as random draws around mean parameters, but this fails to account for structured variation in space or time. A simulation experiment varying environmental knowledge showed that unstructured IV as random noise does not achieve the diversity and composition of communities with fully explained and structured variation. The impact of unstructured IV on community diversity depends on the balance between structured and unstructured IV. Properly accounting for the sources and structure of IV is essential for understanding its effects on community assembly and for accurate community dynamics models.

Canonicalization is the process of declaring a web page or URL as the original version of content to search engines. It is crucial for managing duplicate content, optimizing crawl budget, and improving page ranking. Canonical tags are the most common method for canonicalization, and they can be self-referential or point to different domains. Canonicalization is necessary in various scenarios, including republishing content, syndication, parameterized URLs, and URL variants. Wix automatically adds self-referential canonical tags to pages and allows customization for specific needs.
