Conventional niche overlap measurements are not effective for assessing interspecific competition [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Interspecific competition is notoriously difficult to detect and quantify, especially in species that are wide-ranging or otherwise difficult to track in the wild.

The Ricker Competition Model of Two Species: Dynamic Modes and Phase Multistability [PDF]
Mathematics, 2022 The model of two species competing for a resource proposed by R. May and A.P. Shapiro has not yet been fully explored. We study its dynamic modes. The model reveals complex dynamics: multistable in-phase and out-of-phase cycles, and their bifurcations ...

Neighborhood Diversity Promotes Tree Growth in a Secondary Forest: The Interplay of Intraspecific Competition, Interspecific Competition, and Spatial Scale [PDF]
PlantsUnderstanding the biodiversity–productivity relationship (BPR) is crucial for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management. While it is known that diversity enhances forest productivity, the underlying mechanisms at the local neighborhood level ...

Resource and seasonality drive interspecific variability in simulations from a dynamic energy budget model [PDF]
, 2023 International audienceAnimals show a vast array of phenotypic traits in time and space. Such variation patterns have traditionally been described as ecogeographical rules; for example, the tendency of size and clutch size to increase with latitude ...

Phenotypic plasticity can reverse the relative extent of intra- and interspecific variability across a thermal gradient [PDF]
, 2021 Intra- and interspecific variability can both ensure ecosystem functions. Generalizing the effects of individual and species assemblages requires understanding how much within and between species trait variation is genetically based or results from ...

Interspecific competition slows range expansion and shapes range boundaries [PDF]
, 2020 Species expanding into new habitats as a result of climate change or human introductions will frequently encounter resident competitors. Theoretical models suggest that such interspecific competition can alter the speed of expansion and the shape of ...

The influence of interspecific interactions on species range expansion rates [PDF]
, 2014 Ongoing and predicted global change makes understanding and predicting species’ range shifts an urgent scientific priority. Here, we provide a synthetic perspective on the so far poorly understood effects of interspecific interactions on range expansion ...
