Biotic factors include interactions between organisms, like disease, predation, parasitism, and competition among species or within a single species. In addition, living organisms themselves are ...

Since Charles Darwin, biologists have been using the so-called "biotic interactions" hypothesis to explain, at least in part, why the tropics around the equator are so species rich. The hypothesis ...

Biotic interactions were specified using crayfish probabilities of occurrence extracted from previously developed geostatistical models. Models were used to map the distribution of potential refuges ...

On the other hand, biotic-biotic interaction means the interactions among the living organisms i.e. between plant and animals or among animals or among plants.

Biotic interactions are an unexpected yet critical control on the complexity of an abiotically driven polar ecosystem. Communications Biology, 2019; 2 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s42003-018-0274-5; ...

We are particularly interested in complex biotic interactions and how they drive adaptive evolutionary change. Our research combines evolutionary studies of variation within and among species, ...

The Plant-Biotic Interactions program is a joint funding opportunity established through a partnership between NIFA and the National Science Foundation. There are more than three decades of research ...

One hectare of land in a tropical forest can hold 650 tree species—more than is found in all of Canada and the continental US. This has left biologists baffled for decades.

Biotic components can interact with each other. Abiotic components can affect the behaviour and survival of organisms. Biotic components can reproduce and grow.
