Detritus type alters the outcome of interspecific competition between Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera : Culicidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Root order-based traits of Manchurian walnut & larch and their plasticity under interspecific competition

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Manchurian walnut and larch are key timber species of northeast China but information on (fine) root traits of both species is scarce. Plasticity of root traits in mixed plantations has been studied rarely although this could give important insights into

Interspecific competition underlying mutualistic networks

open access: yes, 2012
The architecture of bipartite networks linking two classes of constituents is affected by the interactions within each class. For the bipartite networks representing the mutualistic relationship between pollinating animals and plants, it has been known ...

Intrinsic competition and its effects on the survival and development of three species of endoparasitoid wasps [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Natural selection on traits and trait plasticity in Arabidopsis thaliana varies across competitive environments

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Interspecific competition reduces resource availability and can affect evolution. We quantified multivariate selection in the presence and absence of strong interspecific competition using a greenhouse experiment with 35 natural accessions of Arabidopsis

The effect of interspecific competition on the temporal dynamics of Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2017
BackgroundAedes albopictus and Culex pipiens larvae reared in the same breeding site compete for resources, with an asymmetrical outcome that disadvantages only the latter species.

A comparative study of the function of heterospecific vocal mimicry in European passerines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Although heterospecific vocal imitation is well documented in passerines, the evolutionary correlates of this phenomenon are poorly known. Here, we studied interspecific variation in vocal mimicry in a comparative study of 241 European songbirds.

Microbial Contribution to Soiling and Its Impact on Photovoltaic Module Soiling in Arid Zones of the Atacama Desert

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

Effects of interspecific competition on the growth of macrophytes and nutrient removal in constructed wetlands: A comparative assessment of free water surface and horizontal subsurface flow systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
© 2016 Elsevier Ltd. The outcome of competition between adjoining interspecific colonies of Phragmites and Typha in two large field pilot-scale free water surface (FWS) and subsurface flow (SSF) CWs is evaluated.
