Testing Strength of Biotic Resistance against an Introduced Fish: Inter-Specific Competition or Predation through Facultative Piscivory?
Biotic resistance is the process where aspects of the receiving environment inhibit the establishment and invasion of an introduced species. Resistance against an introduced fish can be through strong competition and/or predation from resident fishes. Here, the biotic resistance against introduced topmouth gudgeon Pseudorasbora parva (a highly invasive fish in Europe) by resident carp Cyprinus ...
متن کاملBiotic Globalization: Does Competition from Introduced Species Threaten Biodiversity?
T globalization of Earth’s biota is transforming local and regional floras and faunas. From the smallest, most remote islands to the largest continents, the intentional or accidental introduction of new species is altering the composition and ecology of long-established biological communities (Wilson 1992). As evidenced by the recent introductions of the Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora gla...
متن کاملIntra- and inter-specific competition in Rhizobium fredii and Bradyrhizobium japonicum as indigenous and introduced organisms
Schmidt 1973; Kapusta and Rouwenhorst 1973; Weaver and Frederick 1974). However, the numbers needed to overcome indigenous rhizobia are in many cases too excessive to be practical. In much of the soybean-growing area in the north central United States, an area encompassing many soil types, indigeneous strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum serogroup 123 dominate nodulation of soybeans (Damirgi et ...
متن کاملBroadening Gene Pool of Rice for Resistance to Biotic Stresses Through Wide Hybridization
Variability in the cultivated germplasm for economic traits such as resistance to rice tungro virus, sheathblight, yellow stem borer, drought and salt tolerance is limited. This necessitated search for the genes in secondary and tertiary gene pool of genus Oryza. Fortunately, wild species are an important reservoir ofuseful genes for resistance to major disease, pest and tolerance t...
متن کاملThe list-strength effect: Strength-dependent competition or suppression?
If several items are associated with a common cue, the cued recall of an item is often supposed to decrease as a function of the increase in strength of its competitors' associations with the cue. Evidence for such a list-strength effect has been found in prior research, but this effect could have been caused both by the strength manipulations and by retrieval-based suppression, because the str...
