The conditions for speciation through intraspecific competition.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2006

Bürger Reinhard, Schneider Kristan A, Willensdorfer Martin

Abstract excerpt

It has been shown theoretically that sympatric speciation can occur if intraspecific competition is strong enough to induce disruptive selection. However, the plausibility of the involved processes is under debate, and many questions on the conditions for speciation remain unresolved. For instance, is strong disruptive selection sufficient for speciation? Which roles do genetic architecture and initial...
