However, intraspecificcompetition between parasites for resources within the host gut has also been hypothesized to cause these density-dependent effects.
Despite the commonly observed feeding aggregation of ticks, harmful intraspecificcompetition during feeding is also evident.
Thus, there were no indications of intraspecificcompetition.
Separating the effects of intraspecificcompetition for resources from those of the host immune response is essential to understand nematode epidemiology.
Moreover, we can hypothesize that intraspecificcompetition for space may not be a limiting factor for niche distribution.
This may suggest that when parasite intensities are low, intraspecificcompetition may not have a strong effect on parasites.
These data are the first to separate successfully the effects of intraspecificcompetition from those of the immune response in helminth infections.
These density-dependent effects have been hypothesized to result from intraspecificcompetition between parasites for limited resources or from the action of host immune responses.
Thus, no evidence of interspecific or intraspecificcompetition was observed.
Spatial separation may provide distinct feeding grounds or spatial resources for each developmental cohort and therefore may reduce any intraspecificcompetition or interference.
However, these conditions might not reflect field conditions where food limitation and intraspecificcompetition are likely to be frequent events.
The low parameter values could also be the result of intraspecificcompetition between parasites.
On an evolutionary time-scale, nesting space limitation at the population level is expected to drive ant specialization via intraspecificcompetition.
The mean length of roach at the end of each year of life can be used as an index of crowding and intraspecificcompetition.
This suggests that density-dependence in recruitment was mediated by intraspecificcompetition for food or refuge from floodwaters, or by predation.
Previous work has not separated the effect of intraspecificcompetition from that of the host immune response.
The egg output of the individual parasite is decreased with increasing population density and it is often assumed that this is due to an intraspecificcompetition for limited food resources.
In contrast to spatial limitations operating via intraspecificcompetition, inter-specific interactions did not seem to influence population growth, at least at the aphid population densities encountered in 1987-1996.
Intraspecificcompetition increases the comparative feeding success and ultimately the reproductive success of attractive\\attractable ticks, enforcing evolutionary stability of a gregariously feeding population.
This might suggest that, from a population genetics perspective, the effective population size of these mermithid parasites is not substantially reduced by intraspecificcompetition and its effects on body sizes.
