We introduce and analyse an individual-based evolutionary model, in which a population of genetically diverse organisms compete with each other for limited resources. Through theoretical analysis and stochastic simulations, we show that the model exhibits a pattern-forming instability which is highly ...
Species also interact with other species that require the same resources. Consequently, interspecific competition can alter the sizes of many species' populations at the same time. Experiments demonstrate that when species compete for a limited resource, one species eventually drives the populations of ...
(ii) drive action-selection-like behaviours where the moving entity effectively prioritizes the diverse effects of its environment upon its self-production (Egbert et al.2010); and (iii) compete with other dissipative structures (convection cells) for a common essential resource: thermal energy (...
a. Competition for Space The availability of suitable surfaces on which to grow plays a crucial role in the population dynamics of freshwater sponges. As such, competition for space may be important to sponge distribution and abundance. A sponge has the potential to compete for space whenever its...
(see Sect.15.2.1.2; Hünken et al.2008). However, prokaryotes can also compete with phytoplankton for limited essential nutrients, which can manifest in the direct lysis of phytoplankton cells or the production of algicidal and anti-microbial molecules, respectively (Amaro et al.2005; Seyedsay...
The model illustrates how hard it can be for an invasive species to thrive even if its fitness is greater than that of any of the native competitors. When native species have a mutualistic relationship, the community needs to be treated as a superorganism that the invader must compete with as...
There have been no such good conditions for other species to evolved their human-like intelligence. I'm not joking but what are we going to do if a *creature* sitting behind us is having much higher IQs than we are ? Compete, kill or co-live ? Please analyze these terms biolo...
Once an experiment begins, replication ensues, and multiple organisms arise and compete with one another. When an Avidian replicates, its offspring is randomly placed in one of eight positions surrounding the parent organism, effectively killing the previous resident. Speed of replication therefore defin...
For example, the polypeptide may have to compete for substrate with other enzymes in the host cell. Analyses of the KM and specific activity of the polypeptide are therefore considered in determining the suitability of a given polypeptide for modifying PUFA production in a given host cell. The ...
Later they increase their complexity by adding additional subroutines as they compete for the system's two limited resources, computer memory and CPU time. The ensuing biology includes replicating hosts, parasites and colonies.doi:10.1016/0167-2789(96)00089-9A.N. Pargellis...
