Parallel evolution and ecological selection: replicated character displacement in spadefoot toads.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Dec 2009

Rice Amber M, Leichty Aaron R, Pfennig David W

Abstract excerpt

Ecological character displacement--trait evolution stemming from selection to lessen resource competition between species--is most often inferred from a pattern in which species differ in resource-use traits in sympatry but not in allopatry, and in which sympatric populations within each species differ from conspecific allopatric populations. Yet, without information on population history, the presence of a...
