Effects of Intra- and Interspecific Plant Density on Rhizosphere Bacterial Communities
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 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

Shift in competitive ability mediated by soil biota in an invasive plant
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 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.

Agronomy, 2023 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.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Life-history traits are directly linked to fitness, and therefore, can be highly adaptive. Livebearers have been used as models for understanding the evolution of life histories due to their wide diversity in these traits.

Travelling waves for diffusive and strongly competitive systems: relative motility and invasion speed [PDF]
, 2015 Our interest here is to find the invader in a two species, diffusive and competitive Lotka-Volterra system in the particular case of travelling wave solutions. We investigate the role of diffusion in homogeneous domains.

Contrasting impacts of competition on ecological and social trait evolution in songbirds. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2018 Competition between closely related species has long been viewed as a powerful selective force that drives trait diversification, thereby generating phenotypic diversity over macroevolutionary timescales.

Mutualism supports biodiversity when the direct competition is weak [PDF]
, 2016 A key question of theoretical ecology is which properties of ecosystems favour their stability and help maintaining biodiversity. This qu estion recently reconsid- ered mutualistic systems, generating intense controversy about the role of mutu- alistic ...

Spatial Aspects of Interspecific Competition [PDF]
Theoretical Population Biology, 1998 Using several variants of a stochastic spatial model introduced by Silvertown et al., we investigate the effect of spatial distribution of individuals on the outcome of competition. First, we prove rigorously that if one species has a competitive advantage over each of the others, then eventually it takes over all the sites in the system.
