Conspecifics are usually considered competitors negatively affecting food intake rates. However, their presence can also inform about resource quality by providing inadvertent social information. Few studies have investigated whether foragers perceive conspecifics as informers or competitors. Here, we experimentally tested whether variation in the density of demonstrators ('none', 'low' and 'hi...
Within a large carnivore guild, subordinate competitors (African wild dog, Lycaon pictus, and cheetah, Acinonyx jubatus) might reduce the limiting effects of dominant competitors (lion, Panthera leo, and spotted hyena, Crocuta crocuta) by avoiding them in space, in time, or through patterns of prey selection. Understanding how these competitors cope with one other can inform strategies for thei...
Social networking sites became very popular since the introduction of Six Degrees in 1997 and companies started to utilize them to build online communities. This research aims to further understand online communities by analyzing the network structure and composition of Twitter follower networks. An explorative analysis is conducted on the Twitter follower network of Europe’s twenty-five larges...
1 Plant community theory often invokes competition to explain why species diversity declines as productivity increases. Competition for all resources might become more intense and lead to greater competitive exclusion or, alternatively, competition for light only could become more intense and exclude poor light competitors. 2 To test these hypotheses, we constructed communities of seven old-fie...
Ecological communities can lose their permanence if a predator or a competitor is removed: the remaining species no longer coexist. This well-known phenomenon is analysed for some low dimensional examples of Lotka-Volterra type, with special attention paid to the occurrence of hetero-clinic cycles.
Competition is a major force structuring marine planktonic communities. The release of compounds that inhibit competitors, a process known as allelopathy, may play a role in the maintenance of large blooms of the red-tide dinoflagellate Karenia brevis, which produces potent neurotoxins that negatively impact coastal marine ecosystems. K. brevis is variably allelopathic to multiple competitors, ...
Aim Climate change and habitat loss are the main threats to forest biodiversity. Deadwood bryophyte communities composed of species with different functional traits affected by these processes. Grouping depending on their can help anticipate community responses global change, potential conservation actions. Location National scale Sweden. Taxon (15 liverworts 8 mosses). Methods Generalized line...
Ecologists have long recognized the importance of indirect ecological effects on species abundances, coexistence, and diversity. However, the evolutionary consequences of indirect interactions are rarely considered. Here I conduct selection experiments and examine the evolutionary response of Colpoda sp., a ciliated protozoan, to other members of the inquiline community of purple pitcher plants...
