Indirect Effects, Apparent Competition and Biological Control
, 2007 In biological control in its simplest form only direct interactions between the control agent and the pest and potential non-targets are considered. Ecologists are however amassing an ever increasing body of evidence for the importance of indirect effects in ecological communities.

PLoS ONE, 2021 BackgroundThe alternative prey hypothesis describes the mechanism for apparent competition whereby the mortality of the secondary prey species increases (and population size decreases decreases) by the increased predation by the shared predator if the ...

Numerical response of mammalian carnivores to rodents affects bird reproduction in temperate forests: A case of apparent competition? [PDF]
, 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

EVOLUTIONARILY INDUCED ALTERNATIVE STATES AND COEXISTENCE IN SYSTEMS WITH APPARENT COMPETITION [PDF]
Natural Resource Modeling, 2015 Abstract Predators often consume multiple prey and by mutually subsidizing a shared predator, the prey may reciprocally harm each other. When predation levels are high, this apparent competition can culminate in a prey species being displaced.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Animal‐assisted activities (AAAs) with therapy dogs have shown positive effects on patient well‐being and quality of life in various areas of medicine, including pediatric oncology. However, research on this topic is limited. The aim of this study is to present the current status of AAA in pediatric oncology in Germany, Austria, and

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Childhood aplastic anemia (AA) is a rare disease, and both the disease itself and its treatment cause significant morbidity. We aimed to determine the contemporary incidence of childhood AA in Finland, to compare the clinical characteristics of AA against inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) and refractory cytopenia of ...
