Indirect facilitation between prey promotes asymmetric apparent competition [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2022 Abstract Apparent competition is one mechanism that can contribute to the complex dynamics observed in natural systems, yet it remains understudied in empirical systems. Understanding the dynamics that shape the outcome of processes like apparent competition is vital for appreciating how they influence natural systems.

Pathogen diversity and hidden regimes of apparent competition. [PDF]
Am Nat, 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 ...

Annual 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.

Apparent competition drives community-wide parasitism rates and changes in host abundance across ecosystem boundaries [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 Species sharing a common enemy such as a parasitoid or predator can indirectly affect one another. Here, Frost et al. use quantitative food-web data from communities of caterpillar hosts to show experimentally that apparent competition is important in ...

APPARENT COMPETITION OR APPARENT MUTUALISM? SHARED PREDATION WHEN POPULATIONS CYCLE
Ecology, 1998 We use simple mathematical models to explore the indirect interactions between two prey species that share a predator when all three species undergo population cycles. The results are compared to analogous findings for systems that reach a stable equilibrium point.

Apparent competition structures ecological assemblages
Nature, 1997 Competition is a major force in structuring ecological communities1. It acts directly2 or indirectly, in which case it may be mediated by shared natural enemies and is known as ‘apparent competition’3,4,5,6. The effects of apparent competition on species coexistence are well known theoretically7,8 but have not previously been demonstrated empirically ...

Apparent competition with an invasive plant hastens the extinction of an endangered lupine
Ecology, 2010 Invasive plants may compete with native plants by increasing the pressure of native consumers, a mechanism known as “apparent competition.” Apparent competition can be as strong as or stronger than direct competition, but the role of apparent competition has rarely been examined in biological invasions.

Ladybird-Mediated Indirect Interactions between Two Aphid Species When Using a Banker Plant System
Agronomy, 2022 Banker plant systems have the advantages of introducing natural enemies preventively and maintaining by providing alternative prey, thus controlling the pests sustainably.
