Resource Competition between Plankton Algae: An Experimental and Theoretical Approach
Abstract
The results of 76 long—term competition experiments between two species of freshwater algae (Asterionella formosa and Cyclotella meneghiniana) grown along a resource gradient agree with the predictions of two different models of resource competition. Both models are based on the functional resource—utilization response of each species to limiting resources. The Monod and the Variable Internal Stores model of competition made similar predictions. Asterionella was observed to be competitively dominant when both species were phosphate limited; Cyclotella was dominant when both species were silicate limited; and both species stably coexisted when each species was growth—rate limited by a different resource. Almost 75% of the variance in the relative abundances of these two species along a natural silicate—phosphate gradient in Lake Michigan is explained by the Monod model.

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.
