Biomass-density data analysis: a comment on Cabaco et al. (2013) [PDF]

, 2015
Appropriate use of mathematics and statistics is fundamental for sound interpretations of ecological results and to prevent inaccurate conclusions. Throughout the article by Cabaco etal.

Changes in locusts diversity, niche and interspecific association at different altitudes in the Ili River basin of China

Ecological Indicators
Species diversity at different altitudes exhibits different variation patterns. In alpine ecosystems, species migration from low to high altitudes has changed the intensity of interspecific competition and association, inevitably adjusting or changing ...

Species assembly in model ecosystems, II: Results of the assembly process [PDF]

, 2010
In the companion paper of this set (Capitan and Cuesta, 2010) we have developed a full analytical treatment of the model of species assembly introduced in Capitan et al. (2009).

Productivity and tolerance reveal the shift from competition to facilitation among multiple species under multiple stressors

Ecological Indicators
Interspecific competition and facilitation play essential roles in community structure and have been widely demonstrated between pairwise species.

Neighborhood competition improves biomass estimation for Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) but not Pyrenean oak (Quercus pyrenaica Willd.) in young mixed forest stands

Forest Ecosystems
Neighborhood competition is a critical driver of individual tree growth, and aboveground biomass (AGB) accumulation, which together play key roles in forest dynamics and carbon storage.

Population dynamics of two sympatric intertidal fish species (the shanny, Lipophrys pholis, and long-spined scorpion fish,Taurulus bubalis) of Great Britain [PDF]

, 2016
The shanny/common blenny (Lipophrys pholis) and long-spined scorpionfish/bullhead (Taurulus bubalis) are commonly encountered, sympatric species within much of Great Britain’s rocky intertidal zones. Despite being prey items of the cod (Gadus morhua) and

Chemical Competition between Microscopic Stages of Macrocystis pyrifera and Five Native Kelp Species: Does Giant Kelp Always Lose? [PDF]

, 2018
The giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera is often considered competitively dominant to other kelp species due to its high productivity. However, on the microscopic level, previous studies found that Macrocystis can be inferior to other kelp species through ...

Sympatric song variant in mountain chickadees Poecile gambeli does not reduce aggression from black-capped chickadees Poecile atricapillus [PDF]

, 2016
When habitats overlap and species compete for resources, negative interactions frequently occur. Character displacement in the form of behavioural, social or morphological divergences between closely related species can act to reduce negative ...

Dynamic analysis of competition and complementarity for light and N use to understand the yield and the protein content of a durum wheat-winter pea intercrop [PDF]

, 2010
In a previous paper (Bedoussac and Justes 2009, Plant and Soil DOI: 10.1007/s11104-009-0082-2), we showed that intercropping of durum wheat and winter pea increased the yield and protein concentration of durum wheat when early N availability was less ...

Cheater-altruist synergy in immunopathogenic ecological public goods games

, 2017
Much research has focused on the deleterious effects of free-riding in public goods games, and a variety of mechanisms that suppresses cheating behaviour. Here we argue that under certain conditions cheating behaviour can be beneficial to the population.
