Bird Communities in a Changing World: The Role of Interspecific Competition [PDF]

Diversity, 2022
Significant changes in the environment have the potential to affect bird species abundance and distribution, both directly, through a modification of the landscape, habitats, and climate, and indirectly, through a modification of biotic interactions such

Interspecific competition models and resource inequality between individuals [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Most classical discrete-time population models of interspecific competition have emerged as population-level phenomenological models with no evident basis at the individual level.

Roles of clonal parental effects in regulating interspecific competition between two floating plants [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
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 slows range expansion and shapes range boundaries. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2020
Significance Range expansion is how invasive species spread and how species track habitats shifting from climate change, so understanding this process is a key applied and basic challenge. Ecologists have long theorized that a competitor can slow or even

Multidimensional primate niche space sheds light on interspecific competition in primate evolution [PDF]

Communications Biology
Characterising how the totality of primate diversity is distributed across the order, and how it evolved, is challenging because diversity in individual traits often show opposing phylogenetic patterns.

Neighborhood Diversity Promotes Tree Growth in a Secondary Forest: The Interplay of Intraspecific Competition, Interspecific Competition, and Spatial Scale [PDF]

Plants
Understanding the biodiversity–productivity relationship (BPR) is crucial for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management. While it is known that diversity enhances forest productivity, the underlying mechanisms at the local neighborhood level ...

The Interspecific Competition Between Larvae of Aedes aegypti and Major African Malaria Vectors in a Semi-Field System in Tanzania [PDF]

Insects
Interspecific competition between mosquito larvae may affects adult vectorial capacity, potentially reducing disease transmission. It also influences population dynamics, and cannibalistic and predatory behaviors.

Physical habitat quality and interspecific competition interact to influence territory settlement and reproductive success in a cavity nesting bird

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014
Determining how to best measure habitat quality is essential for many conservation plans and basic ecological questions. Territory quality is thought to be a product of physical habitat characteristics (i.e.

Effects of Interspecific Competition on Habitat Shifts of Sardinops melanostictus (Temminck et Schlegel, 1846) and Scomber japonicus (Houttuyn, 1782) in the Northwest Pacific [PDF]

Biology
As economically important sympatric species in the Northwest Pacific, the Japanese sardine (Sardinops melanostictus) and Chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) exhibit significant biological interactions.

Interspecific competition influences fitness benefits of assortative mating for territorial aggression in eastern bluebirds (Sialia sialis).

PLoS ONE, 2014
Territorial aggression influences fitness and, in monogamous pairs, the behavior of both individuals could impact reproductive success. Moreover, territorial aggression is particularly important in the context of interspecific competition.
