Climate influences parasite-mediated competitive release.
Parasitism is believed to play an important role in maintaining species diversity, for instance by facilitating coexistence between competing host species. However, the possibility that environmental factors may govern the outcome of parasite-mediated competition has rarely been considered. The closely related amphipods Corophium volutator and Corophium arenarium both serve as second intermedia...
متن کاملCompetitive suppression in mixed-clone parasite cultures.
Mixed-genotype infections occur frequently in natural populations. Parasite genotypes are expected to interact within a host: competing for shared nutrients and being affected by the host's immune response to each other. Theoretically, competing parasites can be expected to exhibit increased rates of replication. Here, we investigate whether interactions between clones of Theileria annulata, a ...
متن کاملPhytoplankton influences on tropical climate
[1] We study the effect of ocean biology on tropical surface temperatures using a simplified coupled atmosphere-ocean model. It is shown that moderate phytoplankton blooms, occuring e.g. during La Niña conditions, lead to a vertical redistribution of heat in the surface layers and an associated surface layer warming of about 20 W/m. The positive airsea coupling in the eastern equatorial Pacific...
متن کاملPlasticity-Mediated Competitive Learning
Differentiation between the nodes of a competitive learning network is conventionally achieved through competition on the basis of neural activity. Simple inhibitory mechanisms are limited to sparse representations, while decorrelation and factorization schemes that support distributed representations are computationally unattractive. By letting neural plasticity mediate the competitive interac...
متن کاملClimate Technology Strategy within Competitive Energy Markets
The “Climate Technology Strategy within Competitive Markets” project aimed at conducting research and preparing a set of publications in the domain of global analysis for energy RTD strategy. The project addressed the issue of defining and evaluating a policy mix that would simultaneously: • lead to a reduction of CO2 emissions for the EU • meet sustainability targets for the economy • consider...
