Experimental demonstration of ecological character displacement.

BMC evolutionary biology - 30 Jan 2008

Tyerman Jabus G, Bertrand Melanie, Spencer Christine C, Doebeli Michael

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The evolutionary consequences of competition are of great interest to researchers studying sympatric speciation, adaptive radiation, species coexistence and ecological assembly. Competition's role in driving evolutionary change in phenotypic distributions, and thus causing ecological character displacement, has been inferred from biogeographical data and measurements of divergent selection on a focal...
