Our motivation is the need to understand how two different interactions between species-shared infection and interspecific competition-combine to determine community structure. We introduce a proto-typical model of two hosts sharing a pathogen and also competing directly. We discuss forces of infect
We model the sequential assembly of species into communities, using a notion of permanence from dynamical-systems theory, to investigate effects of species pools on the development of local communities. The results show that communities built from species-rich pools develop more slowly to invasion-r
A model for several algal species which compete both for light and for nutrients, and which are also subject to settling and diffusion, is considered. The settling speeds and diffusion coefficients are assumed to be small, in a sense to be made precise later, and a singular perturbation argument is
