The fundamental role of competition in the ecology and evolution of mutualisms
Mutualisms are interspecific interactions that yield reciprocal benefits. Here, by adopting a
consumer–resource perspective, we show how considering competition is necessary in …

Bistability in a system of two species interacting through mutualism as well as competition: Chemostat vs. Lotka-Volterra equations
We theoretically study the dynamics of two interacting microbial species in the chemostat.
These species are competitors for a common resource, as well as mutualists due to cross …

Heterogeneous mean-field theory for two-species symbiotic processes on networks
A simple model to study cooperation is the two-species symbiotic contact process (2SCP), in
which two different species spread on a graph and interact by a reduced death rate if both …

Mutualistic cross-feeding in microbial systems generates bistability via an Allee effect
S Vet, L Gelens, D Gonze - Scientific reports, 2020 - nature.com
In microbial ecosystems, species not only compete for common resources but may also
display mutualistic interactions as a result from metabolic cross-feeding. Such mutualism …

Cellular automaton for migration in ecosystem: Application of traffic model to a predator–prey system
T Nagatani, K Tainaka - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its …, 2018 - Elsevier
In most cases, physicists have studied the migration of biospecies by the use of random
walk. In the present article, we apply cellular automaton of traffic model. For simplicity, we …

Ants improve the reproduction of inferior morphs to maintain a polymorphism in symbiont aphids
S Watanabe, J Yoshimura, E Hasegawa - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
Identifying stable polymorphisms is essential for understanding biodiversity. Distinctive
polymorphisms are rare in nature because a superior morph should dominate a population …

Stability of an intraguild predation system with mutual predation
Y Wang, DL DeAngelis - … in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation, 2016 - Elsevier
We examine intraguild predation (IGP), in which species both compete for resources or
space and prey on each other. The IGP system is modeled here by a lattice gas model of the …

Dynamics of intraguild predation systems with intraspecific competition
Y Wang, H Wu, S Wang, W Shi - Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2018 - Springer
This paper considers intraguild predation (IGP) systems where species in the same
community kill and eat each other and there is intraspecific competition in each species. The …
