Interspecific competition underlying mutualistic networks [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2012 The architecture of bipartite networks linking two classes of constituents is affected by the interactions within each class. For the bipartite networks representing the mutualistic relationship between pollinating animals and plants, it has been known ...

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

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.

Does interspecific competition affect offspring provisioning? [PDF]
Ecology, 2009 Offspring size is one of the most well-studied life-history traits, yet it is remarkable that few field studies have examined the manner in which the relationship between offspring size and performance (and thus, optimal offspring size) is affected by ...

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 ...

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.

Interspecific resource competition effects on fisheries revenue. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 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.
