Scale‐Free Biology: Integrating Evolutionary and Developmental Thinking

Bioessays, 2020
When the history of life on earth is viewed as a history of cell division, all of life becomes a single cell lineage. The growth and differentiation of this lineage in reciprocal interaction with its environment can be viewed as a developmental process ...

Comparative biology of two closely related species ofEuphorbia — Competitive relationships [PDF]

open access: possibleProceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences, 1980
The present study reveals a variety of competitive interactions between the two species ofEuphorbia—Euphorbia hirta andEuphorbia thymifolia depending upon the calcium status of the soil. In general,Euphorbia thymifolia suffered high mortality in low calcium soils as compared toEuphorbia hirta. The former, however, showed better survival in high calcium

Triggering positive competition [PDF]

open access: possibleNature, 2006
In most bacteria, a molecule known as trigger factor prevents misfolding of newly made proteins emerging from their ribosome factory. The dynamic action of this molecule has been followed using fluorescence spectroscopy.

Impact of interspecific competition and drought on the allocation of new assimilates in trees.

Plant biology, 2016
In trees, the interplay between reduced carbon assimilation and the inability to transport carbohydrates to the sites of demand under drought might be one of the mechanisms leading to carbon starvation.

Modeling Competition in the Telecommunications Market Based on Concepts of Population Biology

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part C (Applications and Reviews), 2011
Based on concepts of ecology modeling and specifically on population biology, a methodology for describing a high-technology market's dynamics is developed and presented. The importance of the aforementioned methodology is its capability to estimate and forecast the degree of competition, market equilibrium, and market concentration, the latter ...

The Principle of Competitive Exclusion in Population Biology

1983
It is often observed in nature that the struggle for existence between two similar species competing for the same limited food supply and living space nearly always ends in the complete extinction of one of the species. This phenomenon is known as the “principle of competitive exclusion,” and was first enunciated, in a slightly different form, by ...

Competition or Monopoly? The Implications of Complexity Science, Chaos Theory, and Evolutionary Biology for Antitrust and Competition Policy

The Antitrust Bulletin, 2006
Predicting the competitive and economic impacts of business conduct and relationships ranging from horizontal marketing joint ventures to vertical restraints demands an assessment and understanding of "immeasurable dynamic relationships." Despite the assiduous efforts of economists and lawyers to bring order and predictability to the competitive ...

Application of competition theory to tumour growth: Implications for tumour biology and treatment

European Journal of Cancer, 1996
To assess critical parameters controlling tumour growth and response to therapy, competition theory models the tumour-host interface as a network of interacting normal and malignant cell populations using coupled, non-linear differential equations.
