Detritus type alters the outcome of interspecific competition between Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera : Culicidae) [PDF]
, 2008 Many studies of interspecific competition between Aedes albopictus (Skuse) and Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) larvae show that Ae. albopictus are superior resource competitors to Ae. aegypti.

Does interspecific competition affect offspring provisioning [PDF]
Ecology, 2009 Offspring size is one of the most well‐studied life‐history traits, yet it is remarkable that few field studies have examined the manner in which the relationship between offspring size and performance (and thus, optimal offspring size) is affected by the local environment. Furthermore, while offspring size appears to be plastic in a range of organisms,

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.Microorganisms colonizing photovoltaic surfaces in the Atacama desert form biofilms that enhance particle adhesion and reduce energy yield. This study identifies UV‐resistant bacteria and carotenoid‐producing strains that interfere with PV performance.

Intrinsic competition and its effects on the survival and development of three species of endoparasitoid wasps [PDF]
, 2009 In natural systems, pre-adult stages of some insect herbivores are known to be attacked by several species of parasitoids. Under certain conditions, hosts may be simultaneously parasitized by more than one parasitoid species (= multiparasitism), even ...

Parasitic Plant–Host Interactions: Molecular Mechanisms and Agricultural Resistance Strategies
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Parasitic plants devastate global agriculture through sophisticated molecular interactions with host crops. This review synthesizes current understanding of parasitic plant‐host interactions, from strigolactone‐mediated germination and haustorium formation to host defense mechanisms.

Coexistence and relative abundance in annual plant assemblages: The roles of competition and colonization [PDF]
, 2002 Although an interspecific trade-off between competitive and colonizing ability can permit multispecies coexistence, whether this mechanism controls the structure of natural systems remains unresolved.

PLoS ONE, 2014 Territorial aggression influences fitness and, in monogamous pairs, the behavior of both individuals could impact reproductive success. Moreover, territorial aggression is particularly important in the context of interspecific competition.

INTERSPECIFIC COMPETITION, ISLAND BIOGEOGRAPHY AND NULL HYPOTHESES [PDF]
Evolution, 1980 We conducted a field study of some of Darwin's Finches (Geospiza species) in order to assess the relative importance of interspecific competition and habitat features in determining the observed biogeographic, ecological and morphological characteristics of these species (Abbott et al., 1977). Strong et al. (1979) have criticized one of our methods and
