Competition and species packing in patchy environments.
In models of competition in which space is treated as a continuum, and population size as continuous, there are no limits to the number of species that can coexist. For a finite number of sites, N, the results are different. The answer will, of course, depend on the model used to ask the question. In the Tilman-May-Nowak ordinary differential equation model, the number of species is asymptotica...
متن کاملLumpy species coexistence arises robustly in fluctuating resource environments
The effect of life-history traits on resource competition outcomes is well understood in the context of a constant resource supply. However, almost all natural systems are subject to fluctuations of resources driven by cyclical processes such as seasonality and tidal hydrology. To understand community composition, it is therefore imperative to study the impact of resource fluctuations on inters...
متن کاملPersistence in fluctuating environments.
Understanding under what conditions interacting populations, whether they be plants, animals, or viral particles, coexist is a question of theoretical and practical importance in population biology. Both biotic interactions and environmental fluctuations are key factors that can facilitate or disrupt coexistence. To better understand this interplay between these deterministic and stochastic for...
متن کاملTime - dependent optical linewidth in fluctuating environments : Stochastic models ∗
Time-resolved optical lineshapes are calculated using a second-order inhomogeneous cumu-lant expansion. The calculation shows that in the inhomogeneous limit the optical spectra are determined solely by two-time correlation functions. Therefore, measurements of the Stokes-shift correlation function and the inhomogeneous linewidth cannot provide information about the heterogeneity lifetime for s...
متن کاملA Competition Model for a Seasonally Fluctuating Nutrient
A model of two species consuming a single, limited, periodically added resource is discussed. The model is based on chemostat-type equations, which differ from the classical models of Lotka and Volterra. The model incorporates nonlinear 'functional response' curves of the Holling or Michaelis-Menten type to describe the dependence of the resource-exploitation rate on the amount of resource. Coe...
