Ecological fitting by phenotypically flexible genotypes: implications for species associations, community assembly and evolution.

Ecology letters - 1 Nov 2008

Agosta Salvatore J, Klemens Jeffrey A

Abstract excerpt

Ecological fitting is the process whereby organisms colonize and persist in novel environments, use novel resources or form novel associations with other species as a result of the suites of traits that they carry at the time they encounter the novel condition. This paper has four major aims. First, we review the original concept of ecological fitting and relate it to the concept of exaptation and current ideas...
