Competition on a Divided and Ephemeral Resource: A Simulation Model
Abstract
(2) Coexistence between two species can be extended by dividing the resource into more and smaller breeding sites. (3) Aggregation of the superior competitor also promotes coexistence, and can lead to an equilibrium between the two species if contagion is strong enough. (4) If the degree of aggregation is allowed to vary with density in a realistic way equilibrium is nearly always obtained. (5) These results may explain the high species diversity commonly observed on divided resources.

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.
