Stepwise incorporation of white clover (Trifolium repens L.)as fertiliser increases nitrogen fixation and improves nitrogen retention when intercropped with leek (Allium porrum L.) [PDF]
, 2017 Background and aims We investigated whether the incorporation of intercropped white clover as a split-dose fertiliser improves N retention of the plant-soil system in leek production. Methods White clover and leek were grown in pots where clover was

Microbiota-mediated competition between Drosophila species
Microbiome, 2023 Background The influence of microbiota in ecological interactions, and in particular competition, is poorly known. We studied competition between two insect species, the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii and the model Drosophila melanogaster, whose larval

Nitrogen dynamic in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) agroecosystem as influenced by intra- and interspecific competition [PDF]
Planta DaninhaBackground: The study of both intra- and interspecific competitions in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) agroecosystem is quite complex and it is essential to understand the influence of nitrogen in these competitions.

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The role of interspecific interactions in structuring low‐diversity helminth communities is a controversial topic in parasite ecology research. Most parasitic communities of fish are species‐poor; thus, interspecific interactions are believed to be ...

Nest niche overlap among the endangered Vinaceous-breasted Parrot (Amazona vinacea) and sympatric cavity-using birds, mammals, and social insects in the subtropical Atlantic Forest, Argentina [PDF]
, 2017 Many forest bird species require tree cavities for nesting, and share this resource with a diverse community of animals. When cavities are limited, niche overlap can result in interspecific competition, with negative consequences for threatened ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Competition for nitrogen (N), particularly in resource-limited habitats, might be avoided by different N acquisition strategies of plants. In our study, we investigated whether slow-growing European beech and fast-growing sycamore maple seedlings avoid ...

A Multivariate Moran Process with Lotka-Volterra Phenomenology
, 2011 For a population with any given number of types, we construct a new multivariate Moran process with frequency-dependent selection and establish, analytically, a correspondence to equilibrium Lotka-Volterra phenomenology.

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 ...

Effect of container size and larval competition on adult fitness of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]
, 2016 Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae), co-occur in a variety of water-filled containers where they compete for limited resources. Aedes albopictus larvae often outcompete those of Ae.
