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

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

Plants
Understanding 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 ...

Spatial Distribution and Intraspecific and Interspecific Associations of Dominant Tree Species in a Deciduous Broad-Leaved Forest in Shennongjia, China

Diversity
Studying spatial distribution patterns and intraspecific and interspecific associations of tree species is crucial for understanding the maintenance of biodiversity and offering insights into community dynamics and stability.

Resource and seasonality drive interspecific variability in simulations from a dynamic energy budget model

, 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 ...

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 ...

Phenotypic plasticity can reverse the relative extent of intra- and interspecific variability across a thermal gradient

, 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 ...

DataSheet1_A Holling Functional Response Model for Mapping QTLs Governing Interspecific Interactions.PDF

, 2021
Genes play an important role in community ecology and evolution, but how to identify the genes that affect community dynamics at the whole genome level is very challenging.

Susceptibility and resistance of minnows, Phoxinus phoxinus (L.) to Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 (Monogenea) under laboratory conditions

Fauna Norvegica, 1990
The host susceptibility and resistance of minnows, Phoxinus phoxinus, to Gyrodactylus salaris was examined under laboratory conditions. The following experiments were carried out: transmission rate was examined by exposure of uninfected minnows to ...
