Intransitivity is infrequent and fails to promote annual plant coexistence without pairwise niche differences.

Ecology - 1 May 2017

Godoy Oscar, Stouffer Daniel B, Kraft Nathan J B, Levine Jonathan M

Abstract excerpt

Intransitive competition is often projected to be a widespread mechanism of species coexistence in ecological communities. However, it is unknown how much of the coexistence we observe in nature results from this mechanism when species interactions are also stabilized by pairwise niche differences. We combined field-parameterized models of competition among 18 annual plant species with tools from network theory...
