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 کاملQuantifying Competitive Exclusion and Competitive Release in Ecological Communities: A Conceptual Framework and a Case Study
A fundamental notion in community ecology is that local species diversity reflects some balance between the contrasting forces of competitive exclusion and competitive release. Quantifying this balance is not trivial, and requires data on the magnitude of both processes in the same system, as well as appropriate methodology to integrate and interpret such data. Here we present a novel framework...
متن کاملPreventing mercury vapor release from broken fluorescent lamps during shipping.
Fluorescent lamps are estimated to annually release 1 t of mercury into the air in the United States; transport of used lamps may play an important role in these emissions. In 1999, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency added lamps to the universal waste rule to encourage recycling by allowing shipment to recycling facilities by common carrier. The rules required that lamp packaging must be ...
متن کاملExperimental evidence of competitive release in sympatric carnivores.
Changes in the relative abundance of sympatric carnivores can have far-reaching ecological consequences, including the precipitation of trophic cascades and species declines. While such observations are compelling, experimental evaluations of interactions among carnivores remain scarce and are both logistically and ethically challenging. Carnivores are nonetheless a particular focus of manageme...
متن کاملCompetitive and Strategic Effects in the Timing of Patch Release
The relationship between quality and market concentration has long been of interest to both policy makers and economists. In our application, we focus on the effect of competition on one aspect of software quality – time taken by software vendors to release patches that fix vulnerabilities. We empirically estimate how the extent of competition affects the timing of patch release using a novel d...
