Abstract:

Insect herbivores can shift the composition of a plant community, but the mechanism underlying such shifts remains largely unexplored. A possibility is that insects alter the competitive symmetry between plant species. The effect of herbivory on competition likely depends on whether the plants are subjected to aboveground or belowground herbivory or both, and also depends on soil nitrogen levels. It is unclear how these biotic and abiotic factors interactively affect competition. In a greenhouse experiment, we measured competition between two coexisting grass species that respond differently t

Abstract:

Coexistence of annual herbs Polygonum punctatum, a native, and Polygonum caespitosum, an immigrant, may result from (i) niche differentiation that reduces or avoids competition, (ii) competitive equivalence for shared resources, or (iii) interaction between a strong competitor and a species that tolerates competition. We investigated competitive interactions between the Polygonum congeners in a greenhouse experiment using plants grown from seed to seed set. Thinning profiles of monocultures were density dependent but did not differ between the species in monocultures. Biomass allocation to roo

Abstract:

Background Studies of biological invasions focus on negative interactions between exotic and native biotas, emphasizing niche overlap between species and competitive exclusion. However, the effects of positive interactions and coexistence are poorly known. In this study we evaluate the importance of positive, negative, or random species associations in explaining the coexistence of native and exotic boring polychaetes inhabiting invertebrate hosts, on the southeastern Pacific coast of Chile. We assess three hypotheses to explain the observed patterns: positive species interactions, weak compet

Abstract:

Potamogeton crispus (curlyleaf pondweed) and Myriophyllum spicatum (Eurasian watermilfoil) are widely thought to competitively displace native macrophytes in North America. However, their perceived competitive superiority has not been comprehensively evaluated. Coexistence theory suggests that invader displacement of native species through competitive exclusion is most likely where high niche overlap results in competition for limiting resources. Thus, evaluation of niche similarity can serve as a starting point for predicting the likelihood of invaders having direct competitive impacts on res

Abstract:

The effects of competition in a subalpine meadow environment were investigated by comparing within-habitat distributions and species overlap in four communities. Based on experimental studies of these communities, it was hypothesized that structural patterns should be affected by productivity changes. It was determined that such changes are nonlinear and that the most stressed and the most competitive communities share many similar properties. Among closed, relatively productive communities, mean niche width, niche width of competitively inferior species, total overlap, and overlap among weak

Abstract:

Species coexistence is a major issue in ecology. We disentangled the role of individual interference when competing in the classical interference competition model. For the first time, we considered simultaneously intra- and inter-species interference by introducing the Beddington–DeAngelis competitive response into the classical competition model. We found a trade-off between intra- and inter-species interference that refines in a sense the well-known balance of intra- and inter-species competition coefficients. As a result, we found that (i) global coexistence is possible for a larger range

Competition in forest stands has long been of interest to researchers. However, much of the knowledge originates from empirical studies that examined the effects of competition. For instance, many studies were focused on the effects of the presence of herbaceous species on the development of tree seedlings or the decrease in individual tree growth with increases in stand density. Several models that incorporate competitive effects have been developed to predict tree and stand growth, but with simplified representations of competitive interactions.

Abstract:

Recent ideas about the role of competition in the ecology and evolution of acorn barnacles are based partly on relationships between morphology and the outcome of competition for space. One hypothesis is that present distributions and patterns of evolutionary diversification and decline among acorn barnacles reflect the competitive exclusion and replacement of solid-walled forms by those with tubiferous skeletal structure. An alternate view is that large barnacles generally outcompete smaller ones, independent of differences in skeletal structure, with predation and disturbance favoring the ec

Abstract:

Various measurements of the abundance, proximity, and stature of neighbouring plants are utilized as indices of competitive intensity experienced by crop trees. These indices can be useful in assessing the desirability of vegetation control and stand thinnings, and in simulating stand development. Static competition indices, however, have fundamental limitations which should be more widely considered. Competition is usually a constraint to growth, not a determinant of growth, so any measurement of competition alone is fundamentally limited in its ability to predict individual crop tree perform

Abstract:

Interspecific competition is a mechanism by which native salmonids can be replaced by non-native species. According to the two-species Lotka–Volterra competition model, replacement of the native species would occur when the non-native species has a competitive advantage over the native species and interspecific competition is more intense than competition within each of the two species. However, field observations have implied that visual barriers such as woody debris may slow down the replacement by mitigating interspecific competition.

Abstract:

While competition is known to occur among some species in some plant communities, we are not yet able to predict in which environments, or among which species, competitive interactions will be most intense. The objective of this study was to test for competition in a wetland plant community and then to determine which environments and which species were influenced by competition. The study site was the transition zone between shrubs and herbaceous plants on a lakeshore. To test for competitive release, shrubs were removed from treatment plots paired with controls in 25 sections of shoreline an

Abstract:

In this review, we introduce the concept of cell competition, which occurs between heterogeneous neighboring cell populations. Cells with higher relative fitness become “winners” that outcompete cells of lower relative fitness (“losers”). We discuss the idea of super-competitors, mutant cells that expand at the expense of wild-type cells. Work on adult stem cells (ASCs) has revealed principles of neutral competition, wherein ASCs can be stochastically lost and replaced, and of biased competition, in which a winning ASC with a competitive advantage replaces its neighbors.

Abstract:

Increasing evidence for rapid evolution suggests that the maintenance of species diversity in ecological communities may be influenced by more than purely ecological processes. Classic theory shows that interspecific competition may select for traits that increase niche differentiation, weakening competition and thus promoting species coexistence. While empirical work has demonstrated trait evolution in response to competition, if and how evolution affects the dynamics of the competing species—the key step for completing the required eco-evolutionary feedback—has been difficult to resolve.

Abstract:

Biodiversity is an important component of healthy ecosystems, and thus understanding the mechanisms behind species coexistence is critical in ecology and conservation biology. In particular, few studies have focused on the dynamics resulting from the co-occurrence of mutualistic and competitive interactions within a group of species. Here we build a mathematical model to study the dynamics of a guild of competitors who are also engaged in mutualistic interactions with a common partner. We show that coexistence as well as competitive exclusion can occur depending on the competition strength and

Abstract:

The history of biodiversity is closely related to the history of the evolution of species interactions. Diversity can be reduced by competitive exclusion in species with similar ecology that live in the same spatial region. Zaprionus indianus Gupta is a pest species that has colonized the American continent in the last 20 years. The expansion of this species in Argentina can generate competition, a major event of the ecology of insect communities exploiting ephemeral and fragmented resources. Zaprionus indianus has shown an overlapping in the breeding and feeding resources and in the distribut

Abstract:

We have developed extensions of traditional distance-dependent, spatial competition analyses that estimate the magnitude of the competitive effects of neighboring trees on target tree growth as a function of the species, size, and distance to neighboring trees. Our analyses also estimate inter- and intra-specific competition coefficients and explicitly partition the competitive effects of neighbors into the effects of shading versus crowding. We tested the method using data from forests of northern, interior British Columbia dominated by western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) and we

ABSTRACT Weed interference is a factor that limits the productivity of beans and, among these, hairy beggarticks is one of the main species competing with the crop for environmental resources. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the competitive ability of black bean cultivars (BRS Campeiro, IPR Uirapuru, SCS204 Predileto and BRS Supremo) in the presence of a biotype of hairy beggarticks. The experimental design is a completely randomized block with four replications. Treatments were arranged in a replacement series, consisting of a proportion of the crop and the hairy beggarticks: 100:0

Abstract Aims Plants can benefit from heterogeneous environments via disproportionately increasing resource harvesting in resource-rich patches. Their initial growing positions with respect to resource patches may thus have important influences on their performance and relative competitive ability. Such impacts may differ between species with contrasting spatial architectures. However, the potential influence of initial growing positions in heterogeneous environment on plant growth and competition has largely been ignored.
