How self-regulation, the storage effect and their interaction contribute to coexistence in stochastic and seasonal environments [PDF]
, 2019 Explaining coexistence in species-rich communities of primary producers remains a challenge for ecologists because of their likely competition for shared resources.

Frontiers in Marine ScienceIntraspecific competition and resource diversity are considered major drivers of niche differentiation, which are expected to promote population niche expansion by driving individuals to feed on alternative resources and/or by enhancing individual diet ...

Awakened oscillations in coupled consumer-resource pairs [PDF]
, 2014 The paper concerns two interacting consumer-resource pairs based on chemostat-like equations under the assumption that the dynamics of the resource is considerably slower than that of the consumer.

Widespread disruptive selection in the wild is associated with intense resource competition
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 Background Disruptive selection has been documented in a growing number of natural populations. Yet, its prevalence within individual systems remains unclear. Furthermore, few studies have sought to identify the ecological factors that promote disruptive

Insecticide-mediated shift in ecological dominance between two competing species of grain beetles.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Competition is a driving force regulating communities often considered an intermittent phenomenon, difficult to verify and potentially driven by environmental disturbances.

Food Quality in Producer-Grazer Models: A Generalized Analysis
, 2010 Stoichiometric constraints play a role in the dynamics of natural populations, but are not explicitly considered in most mathematical models. Recent theoretical works suggest that these constraints can have a significant impact and should not be ...

Cultivar diversity as a means of ecologically intensifying dry matter production in a perennial forage stand [PDF]
, 2014 The relationship between genotypic diversity and productivity has not been adequately explored in perennial forage production systems despite strong theoretical and empirical evidence supporting diversity\u27s role in ecosystem functioning in other ...

GRAY WOLF POPULATION PROJECTION WITH INTRASPECIFIC COMPETITION
Natural Resource Modeling, 2014 AbstractCompetition effects are incorporated into a model of wolf‐population dynamics. A classic single‐state model is augmented into a dual‐state mapping of the evolution of the size of wolf packs and the number of wolf packs. This dual‐state model, unlike the single‐state density dependent model, is amenable to analyzing intraspecific competition ...
