Ecological character displacement in quantitative genetic models.

Abstract excerpt

We study, both analytically and numerically, models of ecological character displacement for two species that compete for the same set of food sources. These models include quantitative genetics and Lotka-Volterra type competition and are symmetric with respect to the two species. We allow for various shapes of the carrying capacity and the competition function, and we discuss under what general conditions large...
