Interspecific Competition in Birds.
In nature there exist three main types of biotic interactions between individuals of different species: competition, predation, and mutualism. All three exert powerful selection pressures, and all three shape communities. However, the question of how important interspecific competition in nature rea...

| 505 | 8 | |a 5.2 Are cavities limiting for cavity nesters?5.3 Are cavities in natural forests superabundant?; 5.4 Studies of nest web communities; 5.5 Conclusions; 6 The effect of intraspecific competition on population processes; 6.1 Intraspecific competition seems to be generally important in birds; 6.2 Case studies show variation in what processes are affected by density-dependence; 6.3 Density-dependence in introduced populations; 6.4 Mechanisms resulting in density-dependence: the importance of habitat heterogeneity; 6.5 Density-dependence in titmice; 6.6 Conclusion. | |
| 505 | 8 | |a 7 Studies of foraging niches and food7.1 The early studies of foraging behaviour emphasized differences between species; 7.2 In the 1970s observational arguments were used to document the existence of interspecific competition. These arguments only convinced the believers; 7.3 Field and cage experiments provided conclusive evidence as to the effect of interspecific interactions on the foraging niches used; 7.4 Measures of fitness-related traits are needed, however, to prove the existence of interspecific competition. | |

| 520 | |a In nature there exist three main types of biotic interactions between individuals of different species: competition, predation, and mutualism. All three exert powerful selection pressures, and all three shape communities. However, the question of how important interspecific competition in nature really is remains controversial and unresolved. This book provides a critical and exhaustive review of the topic. Although the examples are limited mostly to birds (interspecific competitionand community structure have been exhaustively studied in this animal group, and a lot of experimental data are a. | ||
