Local competition and metapopulation processes drive long-term seagrass-epiphyte population dynamics [PDF]
It is well known that ecological processes such as population regulation and natural enemy interactions potentially occur over a range of spatial scales, and there is a substantial body of literature developing theoretical understanding of the interplay ...

Effects of nutrient enrichment on seagrass population dynamics: evidence and synthesis from the biomass-density relationships [PDF]
The available data from experimental and descriptive studies on seagrass biomass and density responses to nutrient enrichment were analysed to assess the intraspecific mechanisms operating within seagrass populations and whether biomass-density ...

Population dynamics of Müllerian mimicry under interspecific competition
Abstract We ask what the effects of mutualism on population dynamics of two competitive species are. We model the population dynamics of mutualistic interactions with positive density- and frequency-dependences. We specifically assume the dynamics of Mullerian mimicry in butterflies, where the mortality of both species is reduced depending on the ...

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]
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 ...

Notes on Norwegian marine Amphipoda. 10. Scavengers and fish associates
The dominant group of carrion-eating amphipods in Norway are the Lysianassoidea; they play an important role as scavengers in Norwegian and arctic waters. A number of genera damage fish caught in nets and on long-lines; in Norway the most serious damage

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

First record of gooseneck barnacles Conchoderma auritum on a minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata
Clusters of a stalked barnacle, identified as Conchoderma auritum were found attached to both damaged and complete baleen plates of a male minke whale caught off the coast of East Greenland on 16 July 1984.

A game-theoretic model of interspecific brood parasitism with sequential decisions [PDF]
The interaction between hosts and parasites in bird populations has been studied extensively. This paper uses game-theoretic methods to model this interaction.
