Detection of interspecific competition in parasite communities.
Matrices of correlation coefficients between the abundances or intensities of all pairs of helminth species, across all individual hosts in a sample, are regularly used to detect possible cases of interspecific competition in parasite communities. In these matrices, however, the range of possible values that any correlation coefficient can take is not -1 to 1, contrary to what is generally assu...
متن کاملInterspecific competition in natural plant communities: mechanisms, trade-offs and plant–soil feedbacks
Introduction Interspecific competition in natural plant communities Most plant scientists agree that interspecific competition is highly dependent on nutrient availability. At high is an important determinant of the structure and the levels of nutrient availability, competition is mainly for dynamics of plant communities. There is, however, much light. As light is a unidirectional resource, hig...
متن کاملInterference competition and species coexistence.
Interference competition is ubiquitous in nature. Yet its effects on resource exploitation remain largely unexplored for species that compete for dynamic resources. Here, I present a model of exploitative and interference competition with explicit resource dynamics. The model incorporates both biotic and abiotic resources. It considers interference competition both in the classical sense (i.e. ...
متن کاملInterspecific competition underlying mutualistic networks
Multiple classes of interactions may exist affecting one another in a given system. For the mutualistic networks of plants and pollinating animals, it has been known that the degree distribution is broad but often deviates from power-law form more significantly for plants than animals. To illuminate the origin of such asymmetry, we study a model network in which links are assigned under general...
متن کاملSpatial aspects of interspecific competition.
Using several variants of a stochastic spatial model introduced by Silvertown et al., we investigate the effect of spatial distribution of individuals on the outcome of competition. First, we prove rigorously that if one species has a competitive advantage over each of the others, then eventually it takes over all the sites in the system. Second, we examine tradeoffs between competition and dis...
