We found that transposon element(TE)-generated phenotypic and functional diversity can have similar effects on ecosystems as are usually documented for other biological diversity effects. We show that Arabidopsis populations with increasing diversity of individuals differing in the TEs had higher phenotypic and functional diversity in resource use-related traits. Such increased diversity enhanced population productivity and reduced the performance of interspecific competitors.
