Understanding species coexistence has long been a major goal of ecology. Coexistence theory for two competing species posits that intraspecific density dependence should be stronger than interspecific density dependence.

Arboreal twig-nesting ants form dominance hierarchies over nesting resources. [PDF]
Interspecific dominance hierarchies have been widely reported across animal systems. High-ranking species are expected to monopolize more resources than low-ranking species via resource monopolization. In some ant species, dominance hierarchies have been

The advantage of being slow: the quasi-neutral contact process [PDF]
According to the competitive exclusion principle, in a finite ecosystem, extinction occurs naturally when two or more species compete for the same resources.

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 ...

Although interspecific competition plays a principal role in shaping species behaviour and demography, little is known about the population-level outcomes of competition between large carnivores, and the mechanisms that facilitate coexistence.

Who bullies whom at a garden feeder? Interspecific agonistic interactions of small passerines during a cold winter [PDF]
Interspecific agonistic interactions are important selective factors for maintaining ecological niches of different species, but their outcome is difficult to predict a priori.

Breakthrough of interspecific chimerism: blocking apoptosis
On January 28 in Nature online, Zheng et al. (Nature, 2021 (Online ahead of print)) reported that they developed an ingenious method of interspecies PSC co-culture system in vitro which unfolded interspecific cell competition.

Finding prey is crucial for predators that hunt on patchily distributed prey aggregations. At prey-rich patches, intraspecific and interspecific competition should be high.

Female Fighting and Host Competition Among Four Sympatric Species of \u3ci\u3eMelittobia\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) [PDF]
Melittobia is a genus of parasitic wasps well known for high levels of inbreeding and violent male combat. Casual observations of groups of sisters of M.

Phenotypic plasticity in response to competition is a well‐described phenomenon in higher organisms. Here, we show that also bacteria have the ability to sense the presence of competitors and mount fine‐tuned responses to match prevailing levels of ...
