Interspecific territoriality despite vocal divergence in two sympatric Laterallus crakes
(Springer, 2020-04-26)
Territoriality is a widespread behavioral phenomenon that functions for partitioning space and defending resources. Birds tend to defend territories against homospecific individuals through long-distance acoustic signals, ...
Interspecific recognition through odours by aphids (Sternorrhyncha: Aphididae) feeding on wheat plants
(Czech Academy of Sciences, 1997)
In olfactometric experiments a wingless adult of Sitobion avenae was attracted by odours of a wingless adult of Rhopalosiphum padi feeding on a wheat plant. When the stimulus consisted of either a wingless R. padi without ...
Competitive interaction between introduced rainbow trout and native silverside in a Chilean stream
(Springer Netherlands, 2009)
The field experiment presented here elucidates the competitive effect of exotic trout on Chilean silverside. This is the first local experimental work that demonstrates the negative effect of trout on native fish from ...
Interspecific interactions involving Neoseiulus californicus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) and Agistemus brasiliensis (Acari: Stigmaeidae) as predators of Brevipalpus phoenicis (Acari: Tenuipalpidae)
(Springer, 2015-03-01)
Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes) is associated with the transmission of Citrus leprosis which is considered the main viral disease for the Brazilian citrus production. Mites of the families Stigmaeidae and Phytoseiidae ...
Effects of salinity on growth, competitive interaction and total nitrogen content of two estuarine macrophyte species cultivated on artificial substrate
(2020-01-01)
Salinity can compromise the growth of aquatic macrophytes, influencing their nutrient content and interspecific interactions. In estuaries, the sediment characteristics vary in salinity as well as nutrient availability, ...
Interspecific interactions between wild black and gold howlermonkeys (Alouatta caraya) and other mammals in northeastern Argentina
(Springer Heidelberg, 2017-02)
We studied the interactions between wild black and gold howler monkeys (Alouatta caraya) and other mammals at three sites with different human disturbance levels and forest structures in northeastern Argentina. The main ...
Plant biotic interactions in the Sonoran Desert: Conservation challenges and future directions.
(University of Arizona, 2015-08)
Biotic interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning. Interactions among individuals lie at the core of population and community dynamics, and therefore play a central role in the existence and persistence of species. ...
