That will alleviate competition in a notoriously cut-throat business, and perhaps even create some local monopolies.
High disturbance intensities alleviate competition, and this is probably why recruits' ACS growth is high just after disturbance in the enhanced growth conditions (Herault et al. 2010) and then quickly decrease (high βs, Fig. 1d and e).
Multiple preferences may in fact serve to alleviate competition, just not in the way modeled here.
Having shown that a single preference is selected against when females compete, I now consider whether or not a second preference is sufficient to alleviate competition, leading to direct selection for preferences.
Major transitions in biology are known to produce higher level organisms via improvements in the mechanisms of information storage and transfer, as well as via the establishment of cooperative synergies alleviating competition between different units of evolution [23], [24].
Another possibility is that loss of MalE alleviates competition in protein secretion, because useful proteins such as LamB need to be exported from the cytoplasm in large amounts through the same secretion pathway (Misra et al. 1991).
Derek G. Brewin, an agriculture economist at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, said that the sale of the grain elevators may alleviate any competition concerns posed by the deal.
Many nations have paid serious attention to the nuclear power generation both to alleviate global competition for fossil-fuel energy resources and to tackle the global warming and climate change.
