Interspecific Competition in Higher Plants
Nature, 1956THE results of experiments on interspecific competition between vegetable crops and annual weeds suggest that a relationship exists between the crop weight and weed weight per unit area when the relative density of the two species is varied. The relationship appears to be of the type:

Detection of Interspecific Competition in Parasite Communities
Journal of Parasitology, 2005Matrices of correlation coefficients between the abundances or intensities of all pairs of helminth species, across all individual hosts in a sample, are regularly used to detect possible cases of interspecific competition in parasite communities. In these matrices, however, the range of possible values that any correlation coefficient can take is not -

The Lotka-Volterra Theory of Interspecific competition.
Australian Journal of Zoology, 1953It is shown that there is a fundamental contradiction in the mathematical theory of interspecific competition of Lotka and Volterra.

Interspecific competition and multispecies coexistence
2007Interspecific competition is an interaction in which species inhibit each other such that increased abundance of one species leads to lower growth rates of the other species. Numerous field studies have shown that interspecific competition is a major force determining species abundances for a wide variety of taxa in many different ecosystems (Harper ...

Lotka–Volterra Interspecific Competition
2009Different species frequently compete for limiting resources, and as a result have negative impacts on each other. For example, change in species composition during secondary succession (Fig. 5.1) appears mediated by, among other things, a species' ability to intercept light, grow, and cast shade over other species.

The probability of interspecific competitive situations in scale-insects (Homoptera, Coccoidae)
Oecologia, 1987A large scale survey, covering some 25 million km2 of Eastern-Europe, provided distributional data, and a more detailed picture on factors determining species composition and abundance of scale-insects colonizing deciduous orchard trees. No interspecific competition or competitive situations were detected among the 21 scale insect species, when taking ...

Nature, 1957 Interspecific competition and amensalism
2003The word ‘competition’ is used in everyday language, and so we all have a feeling for what it means. We tend to think of competition as an active process in which individuals are striving for a common goal, and trying to outdo each other so that there are winners and losers. In the biological world, individual organisms struggle to obtain the resources
