DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16035
Abstract: Abstract Premise Hybridization between cross‐compatible species depends on the extent of competition between alternative mates. Even if stigmatic compatibility allows for hybridization, hybridization requires the heterospecific pollen to be competitive. Here, we determined whether conspecific… read more here.

Balancing contest competition, scramble competition, and social tolerance at feeding sites in wild common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus)

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.22964
Abstract: Models of primate sociality focus on the costs and benefits of group living and how factors such as rank, feeding competition, alliance formation, and cooperative behavior shape within‐group social relationships. We conducted a series of… read more here.

Male fattening is related to increased seminal quality of squirrel monkeys (Saimiri collinsi): Implications for sperm competition

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23353
Abstract: Saimiri are neotropical primates with seasonal reproduction, males develop a seasonal fattening condition that has been suggested as a pre‐copulatory sexual selection strategy. Furthermore, females mate with multiple males in the same season. This could… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajpa.23360
Abstract: OBJECTIVES The phrase "level of sperm competition" is used only vaguely in the primate literature. There is also little distinction between the important elements of frequency and intensity of sperm competition, largely because the two… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/aqc.2964
Abstract: Non‐native species introductions are a major concern for the conservation of natural ecosystems. The spread of non‐native species depends not only on their adaptation to the new environment, but also on the biotic features of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2657
Abstract: Abstract A fundamental goal of ecology is to understand the determinants of species' distributions (i.e., the set of locations where a species is present). Competition among species (i.e., interactions among species that harms each of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2977
Abstract: Abstract Changes in species’ trophic niches due to habitat degradation can affect intra‐ and interspecific competition, with implications for biodiversity persistence. Difficulties of measuring species’ interactions in the field limit our comprehension of competition outcomes… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Models suggest that the mechanism of competition can influence the growth advantage associated with being large (in absolute body size or relative to other individuals in the population). Large size is advantageous under interference,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3984
Abstract: Abstract The insular limestone karsts of northern Vietnam harbor a very rich biodiversity. Many taxa are strongly associated with these environments, and individual species communities can differ considerably among karst areas. The exact processes that… read more here.

Plastic responses to competition: Does bacteriocin production increase in the presence of nonself competitors?

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4203
Abstract: Abstract Anticompetitor traits such as the production of allelopathic toxins can confer significant competitive benefits but are often costly to produce. Evolution of these traits may be facilitated by environment‐specific induction; however, the extent to… read more here.
