Allee effects, immigration, and the evolution of species' niches.

The American naturalist - 1 Feb 2004

Holt Robert D, Knight Tiffany M, Barfield Michael

Abstract excerpt

Theoretical studies of adaptation to sink environments (with conditions outside the niche requirements of a species) have shown that immigration from source habitats can either facilitate or inhibit local adaptation. Here, we examine the influence of immigration on the evolution of local adaptati...
