Understanding how temperature influences population regulation through its effects on intraspecific competition is an important question for which there is currently little theory or data. Here we develop a theoretical ...

In general, genetic improvement programs for Eucalyptus seek to increase productivity. Diallelic methods are commonly used in crossbreeding designs, but few studies use this methodology to assess competitive ability. The ...

Purpose: This study aims to present a methodological framework to evaluate the relationship between social network centrality, individual competitiveness and network competitiveness. Design/methodology/approach: Tilapia ...

Environmental gradients and competition influence aquatic macrophyte distribution in estuaries. The competition-to-stress hypothesis states that some species are excluded from lower estuaries (high salinity) due to abiotic ...
