This paper quantifies the fitness cost of parasite aggregation in entomopathogenic nematodes by linking dispersal behavior to population growth using experimental and modeling approaches.

This study shows nutrient enrichment intensifies competitive effects, favoring monocultures, and interacts with temperature to amplify competitive asymmetries in plant communities.

This study shows Aedes aegypti females use multiple conspecific cues to assess competition for oviposition sites, with attraction to low-density cues and avoidance at high densities.

This study shows that social information from conspecific rivals influences oviposition decisions in Aedes aegypti, with effects varying by spatial scale and ecological context.

The paper investigates mechanisms maintaining parasite diversity, finding that spatiotemporal niche partitioning and aggregation contribute to coexistence among soil-dwelling nematodes.
