Competition and hybridization drive interspecific territoriality in birds
Significance Historically, aggressive territorial interactions between members of different species have been dismissed as relatively rare occurrences and unimportant selective forces.

Specific interactions leading to transgressive overyielding in cover crop mixtures [PDF]
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.

Mathematical Model of Iteroparous and Semelparous Species Interaction
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 ...

Resource Mediated Competition of two South Texas Natives: _Acacia berlandieri_ and _Trichloris pluriflora_ [PDF]
*Background/Question/Methods* _Acacia berlandieri_, an early-successional C~3~ woody shrub legume, and _Trichloris pluriflora_, a late-successional/climax C~4~ mid-tall grass, reside in similar habitats and have both been documented in Texas ...

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

Niches, rather than neutrality, structure a grassland pioneer guild [PDF]
Pioneer species are fast-growing, short-lived gap exploiters. They are prime candidates for neutral dynamics because they contain ecologically similar species whose low adult density is likely to cause widespread recruitment limitation, which slows ...

Interspecific competition affects the expression of personality-traits in natural populations
Competition between animal species can cause niche partitioning and shape an individual’s phenotype, including its behaviour. However, little is known about effects of interspecific competition on personality, the among-individual variation in behaviour ...

How self-regulation, the storage effect and their interaction contribute to coexistence in stochastic and seasonal environments [PDF]
Explaining coexistence in species-rich communities of primary producers remains a challenge for ecologists because of their likely competition for shared resources.

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