Plant sizes within populations often exhibit multimodal distributions, even when all individuals are the same age and have experienced identical conditions. To establish the causes of this, we created an individual-based model simulating the growth of trees in a spatially explicit framework, which was parametrized using data from a long-term study of forest stands in New Zealand. First, we demonstrate that asymmetric resource competition is a necessary condition for the formation of multimodal size distributions within cohorts. By contrast, the legacy of small-scale clustering during recruitment is transient and quickly overwhelmed by density-dependent mortality. Complex multi-layered size distributions are generated when established individuals are restricted in the spatial domain within which they can capture resources. The number of modes reveals the effective number of direct competitors, while the separation and spread of modes are influenced by distances among established individuals. Asymmetric competition within local neighbourhoods can therefore generate a range of complex size distributions within even-aged cohorts.

This study systematises and analyses one of the most important instruments of communications competition management in Hungary, “market regulation”, on the basis of public administration theory. In this context, it discusses in detail the basic theoretical issues of communications market regulation and market competition, the conceptual elements of ex ante asymmetric competition management, including the connections between general competition management and special communications competition management. The study systematises the tools of Hungarian communications market regulation, procedure types and the concept of significant market power in communications management on a scientific basis, and discusses the relevant enforcement practice in detail.
