  29. <meta content="The absence of 'super competitors' in nature is usually attributed to organisms facing trade-offs in resource
  30. allocation. Here we identify another mechanism, dependent on indirect interactions among species and
  31. non-random spatial organization, in which selection favours restraint in competitive ability. In simple
  32. spatial models of a three-species intransitive network, indirect interactions favour slower growth and selection
  33. limits the difference in growth rate among species. The mechanism involves a trade-off between
  34. selection at the individual level, which selects for increased growth rate, and at the community level,
  35. which acts to limit growth rate to less than the maximum possible. If the difference in growth rates among
  36. species becomes too large, then the community becomes unstable and collapses to a monoculture of the
  37. slowest growing species. The mechanism requires both the intransitive network structure and selforganized
  38. spatial structure in the system. Similar behaviours arise in more complex systems of more than
  39. three species, and where there are reversals in interaction outcomes between species pairs. The work
  40. suggests that spatial self-structuring, indirect interactions and selection acting on community properties
  41. can be important in evolution. It provides a partial explanation of the high level of species coexistence
  42. and apparent restraint in interspecific interactions evident in some assemblages of sessile marine colonial

  307. allocation. Here we identify another mechanism, dependent on indirect interactions among species and&#13;
  308. non-random spatial organization, in which selection favours restraint in competitive ability. In simple&#13;
  309. spatial models of a three-species intransitive network, indirect interactions favour slower growth and selection&#13;
  310. limits the difference in growth rate among species. The mechanism involves a trade-off between&#13;
  311. selection at the individual level, which selects for increased growth rate, and at the community level,&#13;
  312. which acts to limit growth rate to less than the maximum possible. If the difference in growth rates among&#13;
  313. species becomes too large, then the community becomes unstable and collapses to a monoculture of the&#13;
  314. slowest growing species. The mechanism requires both the intransitive network structure and selforganized&#13;
  315. spatial structure in the system. Similar behaviours arise in more complex systems of more than&#13;
  316. three species, and where there are reversals in interaction outcomes between species pairs. The work&#13;
  317. suggests that spatial self-structuring, indirect interactions and selection acting on community properties&#13;
  318. can be important in evolution. It provides a partial explanation of the high level of species coexistence&#13;
  319. and apparent restraint in interspecific interactions evident in some assemblages of sessile marine colonial&#13;
  320. organisms.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" border="0" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Definitive version available online at http://www.journals.royalsoc.ac.uk/</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Competition; indirect interactions; spatial self-structuring; coexistence;&#13;
