Effects of temperature and interference were examined in a replacement series experiment with cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. 'Stoneville 213′), spurred anoda Anoda cristata (L.) Schlecht. # ANVCR), and velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medic. # ABUTH). Plants were grown in controlled-environment greenhouses at day/night temperatures of 32/23 or 26/17 C, and harvested 14 or 39 days after planting. Height, dry weight, and leaf area at both harvests, and dry matter production and leaf area duration for the harvest interval were significantly greater in all species at 32/23 C than at 26/17 C. Interference reduced the dry weight per plant and leaf area at day 39, and dry matter production for the harvest interval. Cotton was somewhat superior to both weeds as a competitor at 32/23 C, while spurred anoda was somewhat superior to cotton and velvetleaf at 26/17 C.

Sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia L. ♯6 CASOB), hemp sesbania [Sesbania exaltata (Raf.) Cory ♯ SEBEX], and showy crotalaria (Crotalaria spectabilis Roth. ♯ CVTSP) were grown in controlled-environment greenhouses with day/night temperatures of 23/17, 26/20, 29/23, and 32/26 C. Plant height, leaf area, and total dry weight at 53 days after planting increased significantly with temperatures between 23/17 and 29/23 C in sicklepod and showy crotalaria, and between 23/17 and 32/26 C in hemp sesbania. In all species, leaves were produced more rapidly as temperature increased. Axillary branch leaf production was greatest at 29/23 C in sicklepod, and at 29/23 and 26/20 C in showy crotalaria; hemp sesbania showed little axillary branch development. Total dry-matter production in all species was closely correlated with leaf area duration, but not with net assimilation rate. Differences in total main stem leaf area in all species were primarily due to differences in leaf number rather than to differences in leaf size at maturity.

The C4 weed johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers. ♯3 SORHA] and the C3 crop soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr. ‘Ransom’] were grown separately and in inter- and intraspecific competition at 350 and 675 ppm CO2 in controlled environment chambers with 29/23 C day/night temperatures and 950 μE·m-2 · s-1 PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density). In the absence of competition, the higher CO2 concentration stimulated dry matter accumulation, leaf area expansion, net assimilation rate, and leaf area duration of soybean more than that of johnsongrass. The plant relative yield (PRY) of soybean in competition with johnsongrass increased, and the PRY of johnsongrass in competition with soybean decreased, as the CO2 concentration was increased from 350 to 675 ppm. Thus, the competitiveness of the C3 crop with the C4 weed increased with increasing CO2 concentration. Relative yield totals were not significantly different from 1.0, indicating that the two species were competing for the same resources. With the increases in global atmospheric CO2 concentration predicted for the next 50 to 100 yr, the competitiveness of C3 crops with C4 weeds could be increased.

In populations of herring (Clupea harengus) or sprat (Sprattus sprattus), one typically observes a pattern of schools forming at dawn and dispersing at dusk, usually combined with vertical migration. This behaviour influences interactions with other species; hence a better understanding of the processes could contribute to deeper insight into ecosystem dynamics. This paper reports field measurements of the dispersal at dusk and examines two hypotheses through statistical modelling: that the vertical migration and the dissolution of schools is determined by decrease in light intensity, and that the dissolution of schools can be modelled by diffusion, i.e. active repulsion is not required. The field measurements were obtained during 3 days in March at one location in the Baltic Sea and included continuous hydroacoustical monitoring, trawl samples, and hydrographical CTD data. Echogram patterns were analysed using the school detection module in Echoview® and local light intensities were calculated using a model for surface illuminance. The data and the analysis support that schools migrate upwards during dusk, possibly trying to remain aggregated by keeping the local light intensities above a critical threshold, that schools initiate their dissolution when ambient light intensity drops below this critical threshold, and that fish subsequently swim in an uncorrelated random walk pattern.
