Using Traits to Assess Nontransitivity of Interactions among Coral Species.

The American naturalist - 1 Sept 2017

Precoda Kristin, Allen Andrew P, Grant Liesl, Madin Joshua S

Abstract excerpt

Simulations and experiments have shown that species coexistence can be maintained via nontransitive competition, of which a simple case is the rock-paper-scissors game. Reef-building corals exemplify high biodiversity competing for a few limiting resources via several mechanisms. Thus, corals represent fertile ground for exploring competition and nontransitivity. This article aimed to test hypotheses about the...
