  2. Inclusion–exclusion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusionexclusion...

    Venn diagram showing the union of sets A and B as everything not in white. In combinatorics, the inclusion–exclusion principle is a counting technique which generalizes the familiar method of obtaining the number of elements in the union of two finite sets; symbolically expressed as

  3. Competitive exclusion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Competitive_exclusion_principle

    In ecology, the competitive exclusion principle, [1] sometimes referred to as Gause's law, [2] is a proposition that two species which compete for the same limited resource cannot coexist at constant population values. When one species has even the slightest advantage over another, the one with the advantage will dominate in the long term.

  4. Biological rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_rules

    Gause's law or the competitive exclusion principle, named for Georgy Gause, states that two species competing for the same resource cannot coexist at constant population values. The competition leads either to the extinction of the weaker competitor or to an evolutionary or behavioral shift toward a different ecological niche .

  5. Euler characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_characteristic

    if X is a stratified space all of whose strata are even-dimensional, the inclusion–exclusion principle holds if M and N are unions of strata. This applies in particular if M and N are subvarieties of a complex algebraic variety. [8] In general, the inclusion–exclusion principle is false.

  6. Competition (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competition_(biology)

    According to the competitive exclusion principle, species less suited to compete for resources must either adapt or die out, although competitive exclusion is rarely found in natural ecosystems. [3] According to evolutionary theory, competition within and between species for resources is important in natural selection. More recently, however ...

  7. Limiting similarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiting_similarity

    In 1932, Georgii Gause created the competitive exclusion principle based on experiments with cultures of yeast and paramecium. [1] The principle maintains that two species with the same ecological niches cannot stably coexist. That is to say, when two species compete for identical resource access, one will be competitively superior and it will ...

  8. Paradox of the plankton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_the_plankton

    Marine diatoms are among the many planktonic organisms that paradoxically appear to flout the competitive exclusion principle.. In aquatic biology, the paradox of the plankton describes the situation in which a limited range of resources supports an unexpectedly wide range of plankton species, apparently flouting the competitive exclusion principle, which holds that when two species compete ...

  9. Inclusion (cell) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion_(cell)

    In cellular biology, inclusions are diverse intracellular [1] non-living substances (ergastic substances) [2] that are not bound by membranes. Inclusions are stored nutrients/deutoplasmic substances, secretory products, and pigment granules.
