Resource competition in plant invasions: emerging patterns and research needs
Frontiers 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 ...

Frontiers 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.

Apparent Competition in Two-Sided Platforms [PDF]
SSRN 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.

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

Frontiers 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 ...

Natural enemies and biodiversity: The double-edged sword of trophic interactions
Mètode Science Studies Journal: Annual Review, 2019 Natural enemies, that is, species that inflict harm on others while feeding on them, are fundamental drivers of biodiversity dynamics and represent a substantial portion of biodiversity as well.

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

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

Predation determines different selective pressure on pea aphid host races in a complex agricultural mosaic. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Field assessments were conducted to examine the interplay between host plant and predation in complex agricultural mosaic on pea aphid clover and alfalfa races. In one experiment, we examined the relative fitness on clover race (CR) and alfalfa race (AR)
