Resource competition and soft selection in Sabatia angularis
Intraspecific competition is a primary ecological interaction in plant populations, and competitive interactions for limited resources in turn are an important driver of natural selection, setting the stage for eco-evo feedbacks. Such feedbacks are likely when the competitive neighborhood …

Testing the potential of priority effects to sustainably increase community function in semi-natural grasslands
… PFTs. Thus, there was interplay of belowground asymmetric competition leading to aboveground asymmetric competition in the course of initial community assembly. Additionally, this effect was independent from differences in soil conditions hinting at a higher importance of stochastic events for …

The Ecology of the Endangered Dusky Gopher Frog (Rana Sevosa) and a Common Congener, the Southern Leopard Frog (Rana Sphenocephala)
… to its decline. I found some evidence of asymmetric competition in the larval stage with R. sevosa negatively affecting R. sphenocephala. It does not appear that larval competition with R. sphenocephala has contributed to the decline of R. sevosa. The primary difference between the two …

Size-structured competition and predation in red-eyed treefrog tadpoles
… size is important in determining the outcome of competition and predator-prey interactions. Size structure of a population (i.e. relative proportion of large and small conspecifics) may be particularly important in organisms with prolonged breeding periods and rapid growth where populations may …

Ecology of Two Rare Amphibians of the Gulf Coastal Plain
… clamitans was more susceptible to intraspecific competition than interspecific competition. The lack of a strong competitive effect of Rana c. clamitans on Rana okaloosae suggests that competitive interactions among tadpoles may have a limited effect at the densities I examined. In Chapter 5, our …
