Furthermore, it's not just interspecific processes that are more intense and advantageously studied in the tropics.
Academic text (1990) -
As the species' populations increase in abundance, resource levels fall and interspecific competition occurs for the now-scarce resources.
Academic text (2007) -
Such close contact results in new or greater opportunities for interspecific hybridization (Figure 1).
Academic text (2010) -
Historically, ecologists focused on interspecific competition as the critical factor structuring plant communities.
Academic text (2001) -

Academic text (2016) -

Academic text (2012) -
There was some evidence of interspecific differentiation in reproduction establishment, particularly at low residual overstory densities (Figure 2).
Academic text (2016) -

Etymology
Interspecific comes from inter- meaning 'between' and specific (from 'species') meaning 'type' or 'kind'. So interspecific describes something that happens 'between species', like breeding or competition between two different animals or plants.
