Evolutionary disarmament in interspecific competition [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001
Competitive asymmetry, which is the advantage of having a larger body or stronger weaponry than a contestant, drives spectacular evolutionary arms races in intraspecific competition. Similar asymmetries are well documented in interspecific competition, yet they seldom lead to exaggerated traits.

The effect of microplastics on the interspecific competition of Daphnia

open access: yesEnvironmental Pollution, 2022
Microplastic pollution is currently one of the most intensely studied ecological issues. Numerous studies have estimated the distribution and concentration of microplastics in various environments and determine how they affect their inhabitants. Much less effort has been place on assessing the possible effects of microplastics on interactions between ...

Global warming intensifies the interference competition by a poleward-expanding invader on a native dragonfly species

open access: yesRoyal 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.

Mathematical Model of Iteroparous and Semelparous Species Interaction

open access: yesCauchy: Jurnal Matematika Murni dan Aplikasi, 2022
A species can be categorized based on its reproductive strategy, including semelparous and iteroparous. Semelparous species is a species that reproduces only once in its lifetime shortly before dying, while iteroparous species is a species that ...

Competing with each other: Fish isotopic niche in two resource availability contexts

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
IntroductionCompetition embodies species struggle for space and food and is, therefore, a critical evolutionary mechanism influencing species spatiotemporal patterns and persistence. One of the main drivers of competition is resource availability.

Eutrophication boosts the competitive advantage of invasive gibel carp over endangered crucian carp [PDF]

open access: yesNeoBiota
Anthropogenic eutrophication poses a significant threat to freshwater environments globally. It also influences the population dynamics of invasive and native species, yet the cumulative effects of eutrophication and invasive species on native organisms ...

Effect of interspecific competition among whiteflies (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) on crops and ornamental plants in Southwestern Nigeria

open access: yesJournal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2021
Whiteflies that are pests of many crops and ornamental plants produce migratory forms during dense populations with different species sharing the same host plant. Fields surveys of these pests were conducted from 8 sampling sites within the five states (

Interspecific competition changes photosynthetic and oxidative stress response of barley and barnyard grass to elevated CO2 and temperature

open access: yesAgricultural and Food Science, 2018
This work focuses on the investigation of competition interaction between C3 crop barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and C4 weed barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli L.) at 2 times higher than ambient [CO2] and +4 0C higher ambient temperature climate ...

Physical habitat quality and interspecific competition interact to influence territory settlement and reproductive success in a cavity nesting bird

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014
Determining how to best measure habitat quality is essential for many conservation plans and basic ecological questions. Territory quality is thought to be a product of physical habitat characteristics (i.e.
