Maternal effects and the outcome of interspecific competition. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Abstract Maternal environmental effects create lagged population responses to past environments. Although they are ubiquitous and vary in expression across taxa, it remains unclear if and how their presence alters competitive interactions in ecological communities. Here, we use a discrete‐time competition model to simulate how maternal effects alter

Interspecific competition models and resource inequality between individuals [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceMost 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

Conventional niche overlap measurements are not effective for assessing interspecific competition [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Interspecific competition is notoriously difficult to detect and quantify, especially in species that are wide-ranging or otherwise difficult to track in the wild.

Multidimensional primate niche space sheds light on interspecific competition in primate evolution [PDF]
Communications BiologyCharacterising 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]
PlantsUnderstanding 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 ...

Interspecific Competition and Vertical Niche Partitioning in Fiji’s Forest Birds
Diversity, 2022 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.

The Interspecific Competition Between Larvae of Aedes aegypti and Major African Malaria Vectors in a Semi-Field System in Tanzania [PDF]
InsectsInterspecific competition between mosquito larvae may affects adult vectorial capacity, potentially reducing disease transmission. It also influences population dynamics, and cannibalistic and predatory behaviors.

Effects of Interspecific Competition on Habitat Shifts of Sardinops melanostictus (Temminck et Schlegel, 1846) and Scomber japonicus (Houttuyn, 1782) in the Northwest Pacific [PDF]
BiologyAs economically important sympatric species in the Northwest Pacific, the Japanese sardine (Sardinops melanostictus) and Chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) exhibit significant biological interactions.
