Apparent Competition [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2017
Most species have one or more natural enemies, e.g., predators, parasites, pathogens, and herbivores, among others. These species in turn typically attack multiple victim species. This leads to the possibility of indirect interactions among those victims, both positive and negative.

Indirect interactions between a native and a supposedly non-native wasp species (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Eumeninae: Anterhynchium)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2022
Non-native species pose a threat to native organisms. When non-native and native species are closely related, the former can often competitively exclude the latter. Many studies have focused on competitive exclusion of native insect species by non-native

Spatiotemporal predictions of the alternative prey hypothesis: Predator habitat use during decreasing prey abundance

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
The alternative prey hypothesis supposes that predators supported by a primary prey species will shift to consume alternative prey during a decrease in primary prey abundance.

Management‐mediated predation rate in the caribou–moose–wolf system: spatial configuration of logging activities matters

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Landscape complexity can determine the population dynamics of interacting predators and prey. Yet, management plans are commonly developed from aspatial predictive models.

Global change risks a threatened species due to alteration of predator–prey dynamics

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Although global change can reshape ecosystems by triggering cascading effects on food webs, indirect interactions remain largely overlooked. Climate‐ and land‐use‐induced changes in landscape cause shifts in vegetation composition, which affect entire ...

Ladybird-Mediated Indirect Interactions between Two Aphid Species When Using a Banker Plant System

open access: yesAgronomy, 2022
Banker plant systems have the advantages of introducing natural enemies preventively and maintaining by providing alternative prey, thus controlling the pests sustainably.

Alternative prey influence the predation of mosquito larvae by three water bug species (Heteroptera: Nepidae)

open access: yesLimnological Review, 2020
The indirect interactions among multiple prey sharing a common predator characterize apparent competition. In conservation biological control involving mosquitoes and controphic prey against generalist insect predators, apparent competition may be a ...

Predator discrimination of prey promotes the predator-mediated coexistence of prey species

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2022
The predator discrimination of prey can affect predation intensity and the prey density dependence of predators, which has the potential to alter the coexistence of prey species.

Pathogen Diversity and Hidden Regimes of Apparent Competition [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Naturalist, 2013
Competition through cross-reacting host immune responses, a form of apparent competition, is a major driver of pathogen evolution and diversity. Most models of pathogens have focused on intraspecific interactions to explain observed patterns. Two recent experiments suggested that Haemophilus influenzae, a common nasopharyngeal colonizer of humans ...
