Effects of interspecific competition on the growth of macrophytes and nutrient removal in constructed wetlands: A comparative assessment of free water surface and horizontal subsurface flow systems [PDF]
Bioresource Technology, 2016 © 2016 Elsevier Ltd. The outcome of competition between adjoining interspecific colonies of Phragmites and Typha in two large field pilot-scale free water surface (FWS) and subsurface flow (SSF) CWs is evaluated.

Conventional niche overlap measurements are not effective for assessing interspecific competition
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.

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.

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.

Specific interactions leading to transgressive overyielding in cover crop mixtures [PDF]
, 2017 Growing mixtures of species instead of sole crops is expected to increase the ecosystem services provided by cover crops. This study aimed at understanding the interactions between species and investigating how they affect the performance of the mixture.
