Sentence examples for partner species from inspiring English sources

Such correlations have the effect of slowing-down the more mobile partner species in the mixtures.

b The basic building blocks of many types of ecological interactions are pairwise relationships of mutual dependence or mutual influence among partner species.

Ultimately, the role of each species in the network depends on the number of interactions it establishes with the potential partner species.

We study how the intensity of the disturbance and the relative sensitivities of partner species determine community structure, as well as extinction orders.

Central species thus combine a high number of interactions and a high value of summed dependences (strength) of partner species thus being pivotal for the functioning of the network.

Furthermore, due account needs to be taken of coupling effects, that is, the influence of the driving force of any component in the mixture on the transport fluxes of all partner species in the mixture.

In order to systematically study this phenomenon in vivo, we assembled synthetic swarming communities from the Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, its QS deficient knockout mutants, as well as its natural niche-partner species, Burkholderia cepacia.

We speculate that within the X. americanum species-complex, members which depend most on phloem might depend more on this bacterial partner, whereas species within or outside of the X. americanum group that do not feed on phloem may not need this symbiont at all.

Is the fitness of the various classes of social partner within species (such as parent and offspring, or male and female) differently affected by interactions with a second species?

In one of the most peculiar of these associations, the partners are species of the macroscopic genus Prasiola (Trebouxiophyceae) and the ascomycete Mastodia tessellata (Verrucariaceae).

Data from empirical networks of plant pollinator and plant frugivore interactions shows that local abundance has pervasive influence on these patterns, but other important species specific traits (size, phenology, color) also restrict the range of partners each species interacts with (Jordano 1987; Jordano et al. 2003; Vázquez et al. 2007), determining the type of motifs contributed.
