Refuge‐mediated apparent competition in plant–consumer interactions [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2009 Abstract At the intersection of consumer behaviour and plant competition is the concept of refuge‐mediated apparent competition: an indirect interaction whereby plants provide a refuge for a shared consumer, subsequently increasing consumer pressure on another plant species.

Apparent Competition and Vector-Host Interactions
Israel Journal of Ecology and Evolution, 2010 Infectious disease influences the dynamics of host populations and the structure of species communities via impacts on host demography. Species that share infectious diseases are well-known to interact indirectly through the process of apparent competition, but there has been little attention given to the role of vectors in these indirect interactions.

Enemy‐mediated apparent competition: empirical patterns and the evidence
Oikos, 2000 Apparent competition arises when two victim species negatively affect each other (−, −) by enhancing the equilibrium density or changing the foraging behaviour of a shared natural enemy. Shared enemies can also mediate non‐reciprocal (−, 0) indirect effects, i.e.

Endangered, apparently: the role of apparent competition in endangered species conservation
Animal Conservation, 2010 AbstractConservation biologists have reported growing evidence of food‐web interactions as causes of species endangerment. Apparent competition is an indirect interaction among prey species mediated by a shared predator, and has been increasingly linked to declines of prey species across taxa.

Experimental evidence for apparent competition in a tropical forest food web
Nature, 2004 The herbivorous insects of tropical forests constitute some of the most diverse communities of living organisms. For this reason it has been difficult to discover the degree to which these communities are structured, and by what processes. Interspecific competition for resources does occur, but its contemporary importance is limited because most pairs ...

Apparent Competition, Lion Predation, and Managed Livestock Grazing: Can Conservation Value Be Enhanced? [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Predator restorations often result in apparent competition, where co-occurring prey populations experience asymmetric predation pressure driven by predator preferences.

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 ...

Anthropogenically-induced population increases in sympatric breeding arctic geese incur apparent competition consequences [PDF]
WildfowlPopulations of Lesser Snow Geese Anser caerulescens caerulescens and Cackling Geese Branta hutchinsii have increased substantially since the mid-20th century because of their utilisation of agricultural crops as a food resource on their wintering grounds.

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

Multitrophic interactions among plants, aphids, alternate prey and shared natural enemies - a review
European Journal of Entomology, 2008 Given the generalist tendencies of most predatory arthropods, it is widely thought that their impact on a particular prey species in a given habitat (e.g., an insect pest in a crop) will depend frequently on the local availability of other prey (which ...
