1. Coexistence patterns and diversity in a trait-based metacommunity on an environmental gradient

Abstract:
... The dynamics of trait-based metacommunities have attracted much attention, but not much is known about how dispersal and spatial environmental variability mutually interact with each other to drive coexistence patterns and diversity. Here, we present a spatially explicit model of competition for two essential resources in a metacommunity on a one-dimensional environmental gradient. We find that bo ...

Abstract:
... PURPOSE: Given the vast microorganisms and infertile resources in the soil, nutritional resources would be a focal point of bacterial competition. Microbes could quickly capture the nutrition to outcompete their competitors or efficiently cross-feed to cooperate with other bacterial species. However, how interspecies trophic patterns shape the bacterial interactions in the co-occurrence network re ...

Abstract:
... Charles Darwin proposed his ‘principle of divergence’ to account for changes in traits that could promote speciation and coexistence of diverse forms through occupation of different niches to reduce interspecific competition. We explore interspecific foraging behaviour overlap in Fiji’s forest birds, and address two main questions: (1) Is there vertical stratification of foraging behavior? and (2) ...

Abstract:
... Interspecific competition is an important evolutionary force, influencing interactions between species and shaping the composition of biological communities. In mammalian carnivores, to reduce the risks of negative encounters between competitors, species can employ a strategy of temporal partitioning, adapting activity patterns to limit synchronous activity. This strategy of non‐human competitor a ...

Abstract:
... The poleward range expansion of species native to lower latitudes brings them into competition with closely related species with overlapping habitat niches that are native to higher latitudes. If species of southern origin dominate in such interspecific competitions, this may cause a decline in closely related native species. Since 2010, there has been an increase in the distribution and rediscove ...

Abstract:
... Although both interspecific competition and coexistence mechanisms are central to ecological and evolutionary theory, past empirical studies have generally focused on simple (two‐species) communities over short time periods. Experimental tests of these species interactions are challenging in complex study systems. Moreover, several studies of ‘imperfect generalists’, consistent with Liem's Paradox ...

Abstract:
... Scorpionflies (Mecoptera, Panorpidae) as a relict group of holometabolous insects normally inhabit dense vegetations of mountain regions in the northern hemisphere. They are vulnerable to temperature changes and deforestation and thus play a significant role in insect conservation as ecological indicators. However, their elevational distribution and seasonal emergence patterns remain largely unkno ...

Oceanic islands share distinctive characteristics thought to underlie a set of parallel evolutionary trends across islands and taxonomic groups – including life‐history traits, morphology and visual signals. To which extent acoustic signals also change in parallel on islands is less clear. Some important processes associated with insularity, such as founder effects and reduced sexual selection, co ...

Abstract:
... The trophic niche of a species is one of the fundamental traits of species biology. The ideal trophic niche of a species is realized in the absence of interspecific competition, targeting the most profitable and easy-to-handle food resources. However, when a competitor is present, species adopt different strategies to reduce competition and promote coexistence. In this study, we assessed the poten ...

Abstract:

In interspecific groups, species with particular functional traits should be aggregated in a way that maximizes the benefits and minimizes the costs of these interactions. Further, the balance between costs a ...

Facilitation is an ecological interaction in which the presence of one species (e.g., ecosystem engineers) alters the environment in a way that enhances growth, survival or reproduction of a neighboring species. Wood-boring insects are considered facilitators for cavities-nesting ants, which experience intense intra and interspecific competition for these sites. But how do ants find these cavities ...

Abstract:
... Competition is a major determinant of where species occur and how species interact. Among carnivorans, interspecific competition is particularly apparent, as many of these species have evolved to be efficient killers. Theoretically, phylogenetically related carnivorans that occupy seasonal habitats, share common resources, and differ in body size by a factor of 2.5–10× should exhibit the most inte ...

Abstract:
... Metacommunity structure reflects the interplay of various processes, including niche filtering, extinction/colonization and interspecific interactions. Spatial patterns of species distributions are often analyzed to infer these processes. However, such inferences rely on often unrealistic equilibrium assumptions, and remain ambiguous, as different processes can produce similar patterns. Temporal d ...
