Competition and stoichiometry: coexistence of two predators on one prey.
The competitive exclusion principle (CEP) states that no equilibrium is possible if n species exploit fewer than n resources. This principle does not appear to hold in nature, where high biodiversity is commonly observed, even in seemingly homogenous habitats. Although various mechanisms, such as spatial heterogeneity or chaotic fluctuations, have been proposed to explain this coexistence, none...
متن کاملUnidirectional prey–predator facilitation: apparent prey enhance predators' foraging success on cryptic prey
Food availability can strongly affect predator-prey dynamics. When change in habitat condition reduces the availability of one prey type, predators often search for other prey, perhaps in a different habitat. Interactions between behavioural and morphological traits of different prey may influence foraging success of visual predators through trait-mediated indirect interactions (TMIIs), such as...
متن کاملNon-lethal effects of predators on prey growth rates depend on prey density and nutrient additions
A number of studies show that predators can depress prey growth rates by inducing reductions in foraging activity, but the size of this non-lethal effect is quite variable. Here I investigate how prey density and resource productivity may alter the extent to which predators depress the growth rates of their prey. Theory predicts that when resources are overgrazed, an increase in predation risk ...
متن کاملPredator Effects in Predator-Free Space: the Remote Effects of Predators on Prey
Predators can have remote effects on prey populations that are connected by migration (i.e. prey metapopulations) because predator-mediated changes in prey behavior and abundance effectively transmit the impact of predators into predator-free prey populations. Behavioral changes in prey that might give rise to remote effects are altered rates of migration or activity in the presence of predatio...
متن کاملProductivity, dispersal and the coexistence of intraguild predators and prey.
A great deal is known about the influence of dispersal on species that interact via competition or predation, but very little is known about the influence of dispersal on species that interact via both competition and predation. Here, I investigate the influence of dispersal on the coexistence and abundance-productivity relationships of species that engage in intraguild predation (IGP: competin...
