Effects of mussels on competitively inferior species: competitive exclusion to facilitation
Intertidal mussel species often provide a secondary substrate for competitively inferior species, while excluding them from the primary substrate. To evaluate the net effect, we conducted field experiments that specifically focused on interactions between mussels Septifer virgatus (Miegmann) and algae species. Mussels affected the abundance of 7 algal species differentially, with effects being ...
متن کاملStochastic competitive exclusion leads to a cascade of species extinctions.
Community ecology has traditionally relied on the competitive exclusion principle, a piece of common wisdom in conceptual frameworks developed to describe species assemblages. Key concepts in community ecology, such as limiting similarity and niche partitioning, are based on competitive exclusion. However, this classical paradigm in ecology relies on implications derived from simple, determinis...
متن کاملParasitism and invasive species: effects of digenetic trematodes on mussels
The brown mussel Perna perna in South Africa is threatened by the introduction of the invasive Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprov~ncialis. Whilst the indigenous P. perna has been found to be commonly infected by digenetic trematodes, the invasive M galloprovincial~s is free of trematodes, which mav give it a competitive advantage in direct or indirect interactions between the 2 mussels. The...

هدف از انجام این تحقیق مشخص کردن موثرترین متد اصلاح خطا بر روی دقت آهنگ و تاکید تلفظ کلمه در زبان انگلیسی بود. این تحقیق با پیاده کردن چهار متد ارائه اصلاح خطا در چهار گروه، سه گروه آزمایشی و یک گروه تحت کنترل، انجام شد که گروه های فوق الذکر شامل دانشجویان سطح بالای متوسط کتاب اول passages بودند. گروه اول شامل 15، دوم 14، سوم 15 و آخرین 16 دانشجو بودند. دوره مربوطه به مدت 10 هفته ادامه یافت و د...
15 صفحه اولCompetitive Exclusion in a Discrete Stage-Structured Two Species Model
We develop a stage-structured model that describes the dynamics of two competing species each of which have sexual and clonal reproduction. This is typical of many plants including irises. We first analyze the dynamical behavior of a single species model. We show that when the inherent net reproductive number is smaller than one then the population will go to extinction and if it is larger than...
