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

Apparent mass of small children: Experimental measurements [PDF]
, 2004 A test facility and protocol were developed for measuring the seated, vertical, whole-body vibration response of small children of less than 18 kg in mass over the frequency range from 1 to 45 Hz.

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)

Antagonism of kinin effects on epithelia by Hoe 140: apparently competitive and non‐competitive interactions [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 1992 Hoe‐140, a potent kinin receptor antagonist, was investigated for its ability to inhibit the effects of lysylbradykinin (kallidin) on a cultured colonic epithelium, HCA‐7 Colony 29, derived from a human adenocarcinoma. Measurements of electrogenic chloride secretion (as short circuit current), and of intracellular Ca2+ (from Fura‐2 fluorescence) were ...

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.

Competition among Aedes aegypti larvae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Adult Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are important vectors of human disease. The size of the adult female affects her success, fitness, and ability to transmit diseases. The size of the adults is determined during the aquatic larval stage.

Ecosphere, 2019 We quantify the expected demographic benefit to a seabird of conservation concern, the ashy storm‐petrel Oceanodroma homochroa, from the proposed eradication of introduced house mice Mus musculus on the South Farallon Islands, California. A key objective
