DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.4850
Abstract: Competition is a complex ecological process involving individual and community interactions at ecological and evolutionary time scales. Individuals within and between species can compete through two mechanisms: exploitative and interference competition. These mechanisms often co‐occur,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10340-021-01347-6
Abstract: Interspecific interactions (e.g., competition, predation) are core determinants of insect population evolution, geographical distribution, trophic dynamics and ecosystem functioning. Following its recent invasion of eastern Asia, the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) co-inhabits maize… read more here.

Does host quality dictate the outcome of interference competition between sympatric parasitoids? Effects on their coexistence

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.03.011
Abstract: The suitability and quality of herbivorous insect hosts for hymenopteran parasitoids is dynamic, varying with host development. Generally, within a host species, large hosts (i.e. older instars) are considered of higher quality for parasitoid development.… read more here.

Prey size mediates interference competition and predation dynamics in a large carnivore community

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-025-07779-5
Abstract: Direct competition for resources is especially fierce among predators, leading to disproportionately strong effects on fitness and functional roles. These competitive effects are exacerbated in complex predator guilds with dominance hierarchies that have clear winners… read more here.

Indication of interference competition between the EU-protected Kerry slug Geomalacus maculosus and the native tree slug Lehmannia marginata in Ireland

DOI: 10.1093/mollus/eyaa017
Abstract: Interspecific competition plays a major role in organizing biological communities. Competition can involve direct (e.g. aggression) or indirect (e.g. avoidance) interactions, and can influence the behaviour, distribution and fitness of interacting species. Competition appears to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1749-4877.12724
Abstract: Understanding the competition and coexistence of flagship carnivores is key to creating strategies for their conservation in the face of global carnivore declines. Although studies exploring the dynamics and competition between tigers (Panthera tigris) and… read more here.

Lack of Behavioral and Chemical Interference Competition for Refuges among Native Treefrogs and Invasive Cuban Treefrogs (Osteopilus septentrionalis)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Diversity"
DOI: 10.3390/d10030078
Abstract: The introduction of a novel competitor can dramatically alter community dynamics, and competition-mediated impacts often result from biological invasions. Interference competition can be especially problematic as a source of methodological bias for studies seeking to… read more here.
