Migration load and the coexistence of ecologically similar sexuals and asexuals.

Abstract excerpt

The frozen niche variation hypothesis suggests that sexuals can coexist with closely related, ecologically similar asexuals because sexuals and narrowly adapted asexual clones use different resources. However, because a collection of clones can potentially dominate the entire resource axis, such coexistence is not stable. We show that if the sexual population inhabits multiple selection regimes and asexuals are...
