Interspecific resource competition effects on fisheries revenue. [PDF]
In many fisheries multiple species are simultaneously caught while stock assessments and fishing quota are defined at species level. Yet species caught together often share habitat and resources, resulting in interspecific resource competition.

Williamson's Theory of Interspecific Competition [PDF]
I AM glad that Drs. Andrewartha and Browning have been able to go some way with me. I hope that the following remarks will help them to travel further. The example of the car was used as an analogy, not as an argument. Any population that persists for more than a few generations must be controlled: any car that progresses more than a few yards without ...

Roles of clonal parental effects in regulating interspecific competition between two floating plants [PDF]
Parental effects can influence offspring fitness, which may further impact interspecific competition. However, few studies have tested the role of clonal parental effects in regulating interspecific interactions and examined the underlying mechanisms. We

Interspecific competition for substrate and space gives rise to considerable variation in biomass distribution within the microbial community. To study microbial community in depth, we used several research methods as sampling and analytical measurements,

Conventional niche overlap measurements are not effective for assessing interspecific competition
Interspecific competition is notoriously difficult to detect and quantify, especially in species that are wide-ranging or otherwise difficult to track in the wild.

Interspecific Competition and Vertical Niche Partitioning in Fiji’s Forest Birds
Charles Darwin proposed his ‘principle of divergence’ to account for changes in traits that could promote speciation and coexistence of diverse forms through occupation of different niches to reduce interspecific competition.

Shift in competitive ability mediated by soil biota in an invasive plant
Understanding the shifts in competitive ability and its driving forces is key to predict the future of plant invasion. Changes in the competition environment and soil biota are two selective forces that impose remarkable influences on competitive ability.

Weeds are a permanent constraint on crop productivity in agriculture. Due to the importance of the effect of weeds on the crop, there has been great interest in establishing the competitive ability of each species to optimize its control.

Effects of Intra- and Interspecific Plant Density on Rhizosphere Bacterial Communities
There have been very few studies on the effects of plant competition on the rhizosphere bacterial community. To investigate the impacts of intra- and interspecific plant competition, we analyzed the responses of rhizosphere bacterial communities to plant
