Competitive Interactions in Ecosystems
Abstract
An analysis was made of the indirect interactions between competing consumers. Two mechanisms for such interactions were investigated, interactions between the resource species and competition from a third consumer species. In both cases it was shown that the overall interaction between the consumers could be beneficial to both and that interaction between the species does not depend on direct niche overlap.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
