Journal ArticleDOI
Tragedy of the commons as a result of root competition
TL;DR: A game-theoretic model for considering the effects of intra- and interplant competition on root proliferation and reproductive yield predicts that if space and resources per individual are held constant, plants should produce more roots per individual and less reproductive yield per individual as the number of plants sharing the combined space increases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interference competition and temporal and habitat partitioning in two gerbil species
TL;DR: Two hypotheses which may explain two different patterns which underlie coexistence in two species of desert gerbils are temporal partitioning of foraging activity and shared preference habitat selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tilman's predicted productivity–diversity relationship shown by desert rodents
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that animal species, too, show a peaked curve of diversity over productivity, and the present data provide a confirmation of the hypothesis using rodent species.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of barn owls (Tyto alba) on the activity and microhabitat selection of Gerbillus allenbyi and G. pyramidum.
TL;DR: Using trained barn owls, the method allows assessment of aspects of behavior, population interactions, and community characteristics involving predation in natural habitats and to quantify how gerbils alter their behavior in order to balance conflicting demands of food and safety.
