Species patterns: Evolution's competitive edge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phylogenetic analyses of island lizard faunas suggest that patterns in species distributions and body size evolution are the result of resource competition.

Edge-linked dynamics and the scale-dependence of competitive dominance.
Empirical data for several ecological systems suggest that how resource availability scales with patch geometry may influence the outcome of species interactions. To study this process, we assume a pseudoequilibrium to reduce the dimensionality of a two-consumer-two-resource model in which different resources are available in the interior of a patch versus at the edge. We analyze the resulting ...
متن کاملQuad-pixel edge detection using neural network
One of the most fundamental features of digital image and the basic steps in image processing, analysis, pattern recognition and computer vision is the edge of an image where the preciseness and reliability of its results will affect directly on the comprehension machine system made objective world. Several edge detectors have been developed in the past decades, although no single edge detector...

متن کاملCompetitive effects of the forest tent caterpillar on the gallers and leaf-miners of trembling aspen
Interspecific competition has been identified as a major structuring force in phytophagous arthropod communities. We would expect to find particularly strong competitive effects in communities with outbreaking components, where the joint food resource is depleted by a single super-abundant species. To assess how arthropod assemblages of the trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides, Salicaceae) resp...
متن کاملCompetition and facilitation structure plant communities under nurse tree canopies in extremely stressful environments
Nurse plant facilitation in stressful environments can produce an environment with relatively low stress under its canopy. These nurse plants may produce the conditions promoting intense competition between coexisting species under the canopy, and canopies may establish stress gradients, where stress increases toward the edge of the canopy. Competition and facilitation on these stress gradients...
