[HTML][HTML] 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 …

Positive interspecific associations consistent with social information use shape juvenile fish assemblages
Social information obtained from heterospecifics can enhance individual fitness by reducing
environmental uncertainty, making it an important driver of mixed‐species grouping …

[HTML][HTML] 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 …

Intertidal estimates of sea urchin abundance reveal congruence in spatial structure for a guild of consumers
We hypothesized congruence in the spatial structure of abundance data sampled across
multiple scales for an ecological guild of consumers that exploit similar nutritional and …

Microbial predators promote their competitors: commensalism within an intra‐guild predation system in microzooplankton
This study elucidates the interspecific interactions between competing unicellular predators
in an intraguild predation system. The organisms studied were two microzooplankton (MZP) …

Resource-based models of mutualism
R Cropp, J Norbury - Environmental Modeling & Assessment, 2019 - Springer
Mutualist interactions are thought to be ubiquitous, spanning all levels of biological
organisation, and involving most species on Earth. However, in contrast to population …

Linking obligate mutualism models in an extended consumer-resource framework
R Cropp, J Norbury - Ecological modelling, 2018 - Elsevier
A simple model of obligate mutualist populations is presented in an extended consumer-
resource (ECR) framework to resolve some of the deficiencies of traditional models. Varying …

Bifurcation analysis of an intraguild predator-prey model
H Narimani, R Khoshsiar Ghaziani - Computational and Applied …, 2022 - Springer
This paper deals with a predator-prey model and a modified version consisting of a resource-
consumer with two consumer species. We analyze the stability of equilibria and for the …
