Interaction of perceptual grouping and crossmodal temporal capture in tactile apparent-motion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Previous studies have shown that in tasks requiring participants to report the direction of apparent motion, task-irrelevant mono-beeps can "capture'' visual motion perception when the beeps occur temporally close to the visual stimuli. However, the

Multitrophic interactions among plants, aphids, alternate prey and shared natural enemies - a review

open access: yesEuropean 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 ...

Sperm‐dependent asexual species and their role in ecology and evolution

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Sexual reproduction is the primary mode of reproduction in eukaryotes, but some organisms have evolved deviations from classical sex and switched to asexuality.

Associational Effects and Indirect Interactions-The Dynamical Effects of Consumer and Resource Traits on Generalist-Resource Interactions

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Trophic interaction modifications occur in food webs when the direct or indirect interaction between two species is affected by a third species. These behavioral modification effects are often referred to as associational effects.

Resource competition in plant invasions: emerging patterns and research needs

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Invasions by alien plants provide a unique opportunity to examine competitive interactions among plants. While resource competition has long been regarded as a major mechanism responsible for successful invasions, given a well-known capacity for many ...

Apparent Competition in Two-Sided Platforms [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2017
We study a platform’s design of membership and transaction fees when sellers compete and buyers cannot observe the prices and features of goods without incurring search costs. The platform alleviates sellers’ competition by charging them transaction fees that increase with sales revenue, and extracts surplus via membership fees.

Differential impact of a shared nematode parasite on two gamebird hosts: implications for apparent competition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
If the deleterious effects of non-specfic parasites are greater on vulnerable host species than on reservoir host species then exclusion of the vulnerable host through apparent competition is more likely. Evidence suggests that such a mechanism occurs in

Impact of wild prey availability on livestock predation by snow leopards [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2017
An increasing proportion of the world's poor is rearing livestock today, and the global livestock population is growing. Livestock predation by large carnivores and their retaliatory killing is becoming an economic and conservation concern.

Interactions between native and invasive species: A systematic review of the red squirrel-gray squirrel paradigm

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) has been labeled as one of the 100 worst invasive alien species by the IUCN. In Europe, the species has been introduced to Britain, Ireland and Italy, and its subsequent spread has resulted in wide-scale ...

Trait-mediated apparent competition in an intraguild predator-prey system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Apparent competition is of broad interest due to its effects on community structure and potential applications in agriculture, restoration, and medicine.
