Accounting for interspecific competition and age structure in demographic analyses of density dependence improves predictions of fluctuations in population size.

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2019
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]

open access: yes, 2019
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]

open access: yes, 2017
According to the competitive exclusion principle, in a finite ecosystem, extinction occurs naturally when two or more species compete for the same resources.

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 ...

Lions and leopards coexist without spatial, temporal or demographic effects of interspecific competition

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, 2018
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]

open access: yes, 2015
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

open access: yesCell Regeneration, 2021
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.

How Bats Escape the Competitive Exclusion Principle—Seasonal Shift From Intraspecific to Interspecific Competition Drives Space Use in a Bat Ensemble

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
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]

open access: yes, 2018
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.

The bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa senses and gradually responds to interspecific competition for iron

open access: yesEvolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2018
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 ...
