A phylogenomic perspective on interspecific competition

Ecology Letters, 2023
AbstractEvolutionary processes may have substantial impacts on community assembly, but evidence for phylogenetic relatedness as a determinant of interspecific interaction strength remains mixed. In this perspective, we consider a possible role for discordance between gene trees and species trees in the interpretation of phylogenetic signal in studies ...

Selection and Interspecific Competition

1977
Other organisms constitute a component of the environment to which animals respond by natural selection. Among the different kinds of interspecific interactions, competition for common resources is attributed an important role in the evolution of the single species and for the structure of biological communities.

Interspecific competition, predation and species diversity

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1970
Abstract A review was made of some mathematical population models and their applications to problems of interspecific competition and predator-prey relationships. These were considered in relation to some observations and experiments suggesting local increases in species diversity under predation in competitive situations.

Interspecific competition/facilitation among insect parasitoids

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2016
Competition for limited resources is a widespread ecological interaction in animals. In the case of insect parasitoids, species can compete for host resources both at the adult stage as well as at the larval stage. Interspecific competition can play a role in sizing and shaping community structures.
