Intraspecific competition favours niche width expansion in Drosophila melanogaster.

Nature - 22 Mar 2001

Bolnick D I

Abstract excerpt

Ecologists have proposed that when interspecific competition is reduced, competition within a species becomes a potent evolutionary force leading to rapid diversification. This view reflects the observation that populations invading species-poor communities frequently evolve broader niches. Niche...
