Course Description

Overview

Explore the concept of interspecific competition in this 40-minute lecture from Yale University's "Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior" course. Delve into how competition between species can significantly impact natural selection, often surpassing the effects of intraspecific competition, especially in lower density populations. Examine the varying positive, neutral, or negative impacts species can have on each other's fitness, and how these interactions shape evolutionary processes. Learn about classical patterns, experimental demonstrations of competition, and conceptual frameworks for understanding interspecific competition. Gain insights into the reality of competition in nature and its implications for ecological and evolutionary dynamics.
