Ecology, 2020 The contribution of interspecific competition to structuring population and community dynamics remains controversial and poorly tested. Specifically, interspecific competition has long been thought to influence the structure of migrant-resident bird ...

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.

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 ...

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.

Ecology Letters, 2018 Theory predicts that intraspecific competition should be stronger than interspecific competition for any pair of stably coexisting species, yet previous literature reviews found little support for this pattern.

A Local Replacement of \u3ci\u3eBombus Ternarius\u3c/i\u3e by \u3ci\u3eBombus Terricola\u3c/i\u3e in Northern Wisconsin (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [PDF]
, 2017 During the last few years, the bumblebee Bombus ternarius Say has markedly decreased in numbers in Vilas County in northern Wisconsin while Bombus terricola Kirby has increased. The great ecological similarity of these species suggests that interspecific

PLoS ONE, 2015 The factors responsible for the formation of Amazonian primate communities are not well understood. Here we investigated the influence of interspecific competition in the assembly of these communities, specifically whether they follow an assembly rule ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Rapid climate warming has boosted biological invasions and the distribution or expansion polewards of many species: this can cause serious impacts on local ecosystems within the invaded areas.
