Plant growth of Chenopodium quinoa (Willd) is better when growing with kin than with non-kin regardless of soil nutrient conditions
Plants have the ability to recognize their kin neighbors, which may be a beneficial trait that increases inclusive fitness, by suppressing individual...

Integrating Ecological Stoichiometry to Understand Nutrient Limitation and Potential for Competition in Mixed Pasture Assemblages
PurposeMuch is known about growth and nutrient uptake traits and ecological stoichiometry in natural systems. However, these concepts have been...
-
The temporal development of plant-soil feedback is contingent on competition and nutrient availability contexts
Strength and direction of plant-soil feedback (PSF), the reciprocal interactions between plants and soil, can change over time and have distinct...
-
Competition quenching strategies reduce antibiotic tolerance in polymicrobial biofilms
Bacteria typically live in dense communities where they are surrounded by other species and compete for a limited amount of resources. These...

Monitoring of Nutrient Pollution in Water
Organisms depend upon nutrients for survival, growth, and reproduction. Autotrophs rely upon inorganic nutrients (carbon dioxide, nitrate, and...

‘Social’ versus ‘asocial’ cells—dynamic competition flux balance analysis
In multicellular organisms cells compete for resources or growth factors. If any one cell type wins, the co-existence of diverse cell types...
-
Plant susceptibility to a shared herbivore is reduced by belowground competition with neighbors
Spatial variation in plant community composition is an important driver of variation in susceptibility to herbivores. In close proximity, certain...
-
Resource competition predicts assembly of gut bacterial communities in vitro
Microbial community dynamics arise through interspecies interactions, including resource competition, cross-feeding and pH modulation. The individual...

`Spatial patterns as long transients in submersed-floating plant competition with biocontrol
A cellular automata model was developed and parameterized to test the effectiveness of application of biological control insects to water hyacinth ( Po...
-
Metabolic resource overlap impacts competition among phyllosphere bacteria
The phyllosphere is densely colonised by microbial communities, despite sparse and heterogeneously distributed resources. The limitation of resources...
