Stability of two-species communities: Drift, environmental stochasticity, storage effect and selection.
The dynamics of two competing species in a finite size community is one of the most studied problems in population genetics and community ecology. Stochastic fluctuations lead, inevitably, to the extinction of one of the species, but the relevant timescale depends on the underlying dynamics. The persistence time of the community has been calculated both for neutral models, where the only drivin...
متن کاملThe effect of environmental stochasticity on species richness in neutral communities.
Environmental stochasticity is known to be a destabilizing factor, increasing abundance fluctuations and extinction rates of populations. However, the stability of a community may benefit from the differential response of species to environmental variations due to the storage effect. This paper provides a systematic and comprehensive discussion of these two contradicting tendencies, using the m...
متن کاملAllee effect, sexual selection and demographic stochasticity
The negative frequency-dependent effect of reproductive success in animals on population growth refers to a category of phenomena termed the Allee effect. The mechanistic basis for this effect and hence an understanding of its consequences has been obscure. We suggest that sexual selection, in particular female mate preferences, is a previously neglected component giving rise to the Allee effec...
متن کاملStochasticity and evolutionary stability.
In stochastic dynamical systems, different concepts of stability can be obtained in different limits. A particularly interesting example is evolutionary game theory, which is traditionally based on infinite populations, where strict Nash equilibria correspond to stable fixed points that are always evolutionarily stable. However, in finite populations stochastic effects can drive the system away...
متن کاملEffect of Storage Conditions and Disinfection with 2% Deconex® on Dimensional Stability of Two Self-Cure Acrylic Resins
Background and Aim: There is a gap of information on the effect of time, disinfectant, and storage conditions on the dimensional stability of direct post patterns made of self-cure acrylic resins. This study assessed the effect of Deconex® and wet or dry stor-age conditions on the dimensional stability of post patterns made of Duralay and GC acrylic resins. Materials and Methods: Sixty spe...
