APPARENT COMPETITION WITH AN EXOTIC PLANT REDUCES NATIVE PLANT ESTABLISHMENT
Ecology, 2008Biological invasions can change ecosystem function, have tremendous economic costs, and impact human health; understanding the forces that cause and maintain biological invasions is thus of immediate importance. A mechanism by which exotic plants might displace native plants is by increasing the pressure of native consumers on native plants, a form of ...

In many food webs, species in similar trophic positions can interact either by competing for resources or boosting shared predators (apparent competition), but little is known about how the relative strengths of these interactions vary across environmental gradients.

Recent empirical studies have focused attention on the interplay in multi-host systems of parasite-mediated apparent competition and direct competition between hosts. However, theoretical investigation of such systems has been hindered by the onset of algebraic intractability with the increase in system dimensionality.

THE LIKELIHOOD OF SPERM COMPETITION IN MANATEES‐EXPLAINING AN APPARENT PARADOX
Marine Mammal Science, 2004AbstractFlorida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) are promiscuous, with multiple males mating with individual females. This suggests manatees are sperm competitors. Surprisingly, manatee testes are not relatively large. For adult males in non‐winter, testicular size is approximately twice what is expected, based on allometry, for “typical” (i ...

An Apparently Noncanonical Pattern of Morphotactic Competition
2019In canonical typology, a phenomenon that involves several dimensions of potential variation is seen as subsuming a range of deviations from a canonical ideal based on the definitional extremes of those dimensions. The canonical case of morphotactic competition is one in which (i) two rules of affixation are both eligible to apply in the realization of ...

This article investigates the relationship between the similarity of resource capture abilities and the amount of competition between two consumer species that exploit common resources. Most of the analysis is based on a consumer-resource model introduced by Robert MacArthur.
