Mini-symposium 2

Competition

Competition is one of the main mechanisms influencing species coexistence. Competition can be e.g., for a common resource, over breeding habitats, for mates, or mediated through a common predator (i.e., apparent competition). Competition has been modeled both at the population level (e.g., the Lotka-Volterra competition model), as well as at the individual level (e.g., the Hawk-Dove model of the evolutionary game theory). The aim of this mini-symposium is to bring together researchers working on various aspects of competition. Particularly welcome are models that use game theoretical methods.
