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.

Refuge‐mediated apparent competition in plant–consumer interactions [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2009 AbstractAt 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.

Population dynamics of apparent competition in a host–parasitoid assemblage
Journal of Animal Ecology, 1998 Summary The population dynamics of two moth species, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) and Ephestia kuehniella Zeller in the presence of their shared parasitoid, Venturia canescens (Gravenhorst), were studied in well replicated time series experiments.

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.

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 ...

Numerical response of mammalian carnivores to rodents affects bird reproduction in temperate forests: A case of apparent competition? [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2018 Resource pulses such as mast seeding in temperate forests may affect interspecific interactions over multiple trophic levels and link different seed and nonseed consum‐ers directly via predation or indirectly via shared predators. However, the nature and

Ecosphere, 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.

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

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