Abstract:
... Higher order interactions (HOIs) have been suggested to stabilize diverse ecological communities. However, their role in maintaining species coexistence from the perspective of modern coexistence theory is not known. Here, using generalized Lotka-Volterra model, we derive a general rule for species coexistence modulated by HOIs. We show that where pairwise species interactions fail to promote spec ...

interspecific competition,   etc   ; food choices; species richness; temperature; Spain;     Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Niche overlap and breadth are fundamental characteristics of ecological niches that have been hypothesized to relate both to environmental conditions and to biotic interactions within a community. Abiotic factors and interspecific competition may have opposing effects on those niche characteristics by respectively filtering out species from the niche space and limiting among-species similarity. He ...

Abstract:
... The drivers of intraspecific niche variation and its effects on species interactions are still unclear, especially in species‐rich Neotropical environments. Here, we investigated how ecological opportunity and interspecific competition affect the degree of individual trophic specialization and the population niche breadth in tetra fish. We studied the four ecologically similar species (Psalidodon ...

Abstract:
... CONTEXT: In montane systems, closely related species tend to segregate spatially along elevational gradients. The role of biotic interactions, relative to species physiological requirements, in maintaining these distribution patterns is an important question in spatial ecology. Theory suggests that the role of interspecific competition can be significant in the maintenance of elevation replacement ...

Abstract:
... Theory predicts that sympatric predators compete for food under conditions of limited resources. Competition would occur even within the same species, between neighboring populations, because of overlapping foraging habits. Thus, neighboring populations of the same species are hypothesized to face strong competition. To test the hypothesis that intra-specific competition is more intense than inter ...

Natural aquatic sites are disappearing worldwide, especially in the Mediterranean region where amphibians are frequently forced to move for reproduction to artificial sites designed for irrigation and cattle watering (i.e., wells, tanks and drinking troughs). In artificial aquatic sites, where resources (space and food) are usually limited, trophic niche information can be particularly useful to i ...

Abstract:
... Daily temperature variation (DTV) is an important warming-related stressor that may magnify pesticide toxicity. Yet, it is unknown whether the pesticide impact under DTV is partly ameliorated by a faster pesticide degradation caused by cyclically higher temperatures under DTV. As synergisms may be more likely under energy-limiting conditions, the impact of the pesticide chlorpyrifos was tested und ...

Abstract:
... Coral restoration is becoming popular to help restoring degraded coral reefs. However, few studies have tried to monitor the long-term recovery of coral reefs, which makes it difficult to assess the performance of the restoration.

Abstract:
... Hermit crabs are among the most unique crustaceans because they have a non‐calcified pleon, and they often use empty gastropod shells for shelter and protection. The lack of an adequate shell impacts their growth, reproduction and other population features especially because the shell resource might not be found for the entire population or community. This study focuses on the relationship between ...

Abstract:
... Interspecific competition is expected when two species share resource needs. For example, secondary cavity‐nesting birds may compete vigorously for suitable nest sites both within and among species. However, little is known of whether monogamous species defend more than one nest site on their territory after breeding has begun, and in particular whether they are aggressive against other species.

Abstract:
... In recent decades, there has been a decline in the marine growth of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) over large parts of the distribution range. One hypothesis for this reduced growth is increased interspecific competition with other planktivorous pelagic fish in the ocean. Here, interactions between salmon postsmolts and other pelagic fish (mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and herring (Clupea harengus)) ...

They are based on monospecific bioassays conducted in the laboratory and thus do not directly take into account ecological interactions. This point, among others, is accounted for in environmental risk assessment through a ...
