competing

There are several competing explanations of the emergence of Fascism.

the competing demands of work and family

Competing reps are not your friends. Okay, Knight.

Commercial accounting became more complex when firms had to deal with shareholders, manufacturers, customers, branch offices, employees, and competing firms.

Each dawn, fifteen to thirty workers from two competing colonies arrived at the contested nest site.

Success in colonization depends to a great extent on there being a site available for colonization – a safe site where disturbance by fire or by cutting down of trees has either removed competing species or reduced levels of competition and other negative interactions to a level at which the invading species can become established.

Detailed field studies of thick rock formations containing fossils provide the best potential tests of the competing theories.

It is one of the factors controlling the size of competing populations, and extreme cases it may lead to the extinction of one of the competing species.

This was described by Darwin for indigenous New Zealand species of animals and plants, which died out when competing species from Europe were introduced.

If more than one species is competing for a scarce resource, the competing species usually switch to different alternative resources.

Displacement occurs because the animal’s got two conflicting drives – two competing urges, in this case, fear and hunger.

But, he adds, when they are competing, they are all in pain.

Gause said that whenever you've got two similar species competing for the exact same limited resources, one of them will have some sort of advantage, however slight that'll eventually enable this species to dominate and ultimately exclude the other one, even cause it to become extinct.

Because, I mean, are those different wobbler species really competing for the same food?

If you observe these birds more closely, the wobbler species are not really competing with one another for the exact same food at the exact same time, which brings us to a really important concept in ecology: the niche.

If you have two similar species competing in the same niche, what's going to happen? Susan?

Uh, there were simply too many fishing vessels, sophisticated vessels, competing for fewer and fewer fish.

And here's what's so fascinating: as more and more fishing vessels with better and better fishing technology were competing for cod, this competition was causing changes to the biology of the fish and these changes were making it more and more difficult for the cod population to sustain itself.

The physical structure of species competing for resources in the same ecological niche tends to gradually evolve in ways that allow them to occupy different niches.

Numerous seeming exceptions to this law have since been found, but they can usually be explained as cases in which the two species, even though competing for a major joint resource, did not really occupy exactly the same niche.

Right, they are competing, like a game, like the frogs.

Such yawning is often referred to as "incongruous" because it seems out of place, at least on the tiredness view: soldiers yawning before combat, musicians yawning before performing, and athletes yawning before competing.

Student: Three times a week pre-season, but now that we are competing every weekend.

If this hypothesis is true, then it follows that nestlings should adjust the intensity of their signals in relation to the signals produced by their nestmates, who are competing for parental attention.

So this stream edge area had a much denser population, which meant more members of the same species competing for resources, wanting to feed on the same things or build their nests in the same places, which lower the suitability of the prime habitat even though it’s their preferred habitat.
