"competitive group" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It can be used to refer to a group of people or organizations with a shared goal, such as athletes, businessmen, or politicians, who are competing to accomplish the same goal. For example, "The competitive group of basketball players from our school worked hard to win the championship."
A separate linear mixed model included the effect of competition type and competitive group (of the focal and the competing genotypes) on seed mass, rosette size and flowering time.
Table S5: the effect of competition (presence/absence of competitors) and competitive group of the focal plant on seed productivity of arabidopsis plants in a pair-wise interaction experiment.
Initially a linear mixed model was run to test the strength of competition between genotypes within pots; fixed factors included competition (presence/absence of competitors) and the competitive group of the focal plant from which phenotypic measurements were taken.
Table S4: the effect of competitive group of the focal and competing plant, competition type (above-ground only/above- and below-ground) on seed productivity of arabidopsis plants in the pair-wise interaction experiments.
At the halfway point of this competitive group England seized control.
As with any competitive group of peers, low-level bitching is rife among The Posherati.
More competitive groups showed a larger reduction in seed production in the presence of competition (Fig. 5; Supplementary Data Table S5; F3,7 = 16·1, P = 0·001), indicating that these highly competitive genotypes have the greatest yield potential, and the ability to utilize limited resources allows them to over-yield in mixture, but they may not perform so well in monoculture.
"It's two very competitive groups that are competing for the same thing," Showalter said.
We're looking specifically for competitive groups, large groups of males that form frequently at this time of year.
Mother-calf pairs are the focus of our work, and for these pairs, competitive groups spell trouble.
