Experimental test of predation's effect on divergent selection during character displacement in sticklebacks.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 9 Dec 2003

Rundle Howard D, Vamosi Steven M, Schluter Dolph

Abstract excerpt

Ecological character displacement is common in nature but the mechanisms causing divergence are not well understood. The contributions of ecological interactions other than competition have received little attention. We conducted a pond experiment to explore the contribution of both competition and predation to character divergence in threespine stickleback species. We estimated the strength of divergent...
