Heterogenous interspecific interactions in a host–parasite system
International Journal for Parasitology, 2006Macroparasites of vertebrates usually occur in multi-species communities, producing infections whose outcome in individual hosts or host populations may depend on the dynamics of interactions amongst the different component species. Within a single co-infection, competition can occur between conspecific and heterospecific parasite individuals, either ...

Predicting rates of interspecific interaction from phylogenetic trees
Ecology Letters, 2014AbstractIntegrating phylogenetic information can potentially improve our ability to explain species' traits, patterns of community assembly, the network structure of communities, and ecosystem function. In this study, we use mathematical models to explore the ecological and evolutionary factors that modulate the explanatory power of phylogenetic ...

Replacement interaction diagrams in interspecific competition experiments
Australian Journal of Ecology, 1980Abstract Replacement interaction diagrams offer a new approach in displaying results of interspecific competition experiments. They allow visual assessment of both actual and relative responses of two species in a replacement series to treatments arranged in a factorial array.

Modifying modifiers: what happens when interspecific interactions interact?
The Journal of animal ecology, 20121. The strength of the trophic link between any given pair of species in a food web is likely to depend on the presence and/or densities of other species in the community. How these trophic interaction modifications (TIMs) interact with one another to produce a net modifying effect is an important but under-explored issue. 2. We review several specific

Interspecific interactions in the marine rotifer microcosm
Hydrobiologia, 1997Copepods and protozoans often co-exist in marine rotifer mass cultures. Interspecific interaction between the rotifer Brachionus rotundiformis Tschugunoff and eight other zooplankton species, namely Brachionus plicatilis O. F. Muller (rotifer), Diaphanosoma celebensis Stingelin (cladoceran), Tigriopus japonicus Mori, Acartia sp. (copepod), Euplotes sp.,

Disturbance, interspecific interaction and diversity in metapopulations
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1991Metapopulation diversity patterns depend on the relations among the timescales of local biological interactions (predation, competition), the rates of dispersal among local populations and the patterns of disturbance. We investigate these relationships using a family of simple non-linear Markov chain models.

Interspecific Interactions among Selected Intertidal Stomatopods
1988Stomatopods, or mantis shrimps as they are commonly known, are predatory Crustacea found in most temperate and tropical costal marine habitats. While the group is not large, with fewer than a thousand species in 12 families, it is common to find several relatively abundant species in a given habitat. For example, Dingle et al.

Habitat selection, interspecific interactions and landscape composition
Evolutionary Ecology, 1992I argue here that, from the perspective of any individual, most landscapes are composed of only three basic types of habitats. These are: (1) source habitat in which reproduction exceeds mortality and the expected per capita growth rate is greater than one; (2) sink habitat, in which limited, reproduction is possible but will not on average, compensate
