Allometric growth and sperm competition in fishes
The allometric relationship between body mass and gonad mass in males of 23 fish species from 11 families was examined. There was no evidence of a single allometry for all fishes. A cross species analysis suggested a scaling coefficient of 1 04, which was significantly different from a previous study that reported a scaling coefficient of 0 904. A within species analysis generated scaling coeff...
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...
متن کاملDeclining interspecific competition during character displacement: Summoning the ghost of competition past
Prevailing theories of biotic diversification incorporate resource competition as a leading cause of divergence between new species. In support of this, many cases of divergent character displacement between close relatives (congeners) are known. Yet, experimental tests of underlying mechanisms are uncommon. In a pond experiment with threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus spp.), we tested the pr...
متن کاملThe Responses of Physiological Stress during Table Tennis Competition in Elite Female Players
Stress is inevitable in competitive sports. Table tennis in the world known as a fastest ball game that requires attention and control stress. The main purpose of this study was investigation of physiological stress responses in elite table tennis players during competition. 16 female table tennis players (age average of 18.7 ± 3.8, height average of 161.6 ± 3.4 cm and weight aver...
