Frequency dependent natural selection during character displacement in sticklebacks.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 May 2003

Schluter Dolph

Abstract excerpt

We know little about how natural selection on a species is altered when a closely related species consuming similar resources appears in its environment. In a pond experiment with threespine sticklebacks I tested the prediction that divergent natural selection between competitors is frequency-dependent, changing with the distribution of phenotypes in the environment. Differential growth and survival of phenotypes...
