Phylogenetic limiting similarity and competitive exclusion.
One of the oldest ecological hypotheses, proposed by Darwin, suggests that the struggle for existence is stronger between more closely related species. Despite its long history, the validity of this phylogenetic limiting similarity hypothesis has rarely been examined. Here we provided a formal experimental test of the hypothesis using pairs of bacterivorous protist species in a multigenerationa...
متن کاملLimiting factors, competitive exclusion, and a more expansive view of species coexistence.
When I began graduate school in the 1980s, species interactions were viewed predominantly through the prism of resource competition. Species found together were largely understood to coexist because of how they segregated their use of the available spectrum of local resources. I entered this world of ideas wholeheartedly, but I was fascinated by why prey species are able to coexist with some pr...
متن کاملToward a Unified Theory of Similarity and Recognition
A new theory of similarity, rooted in the detection and recognition literatures, is developed. The general recognition theory assumes that the perceptual effect of a stimulus is random but that on any single trial it can be represented as a point in a multidimensional space. Similarity is a function of the overlap of perceptual distributions. It is shown that the general recognition theory cont...
متن کاملA unified mechanistic model of niche, neutrality and violation of the competitive exclusion principle
The origin of species richness is one of the most widely discussed questions in ecology. The absence of unified mechanistic model of competition makes difficult our deep understanding of this subject. Here we show such a two-species competition model that unifies (i) a mechanistic niche model, (ii) a mechanistic neutral (null) model and (iii) a mechanistic violation of the competitive exclusion...
