Abstract excerpt
Long-term maintenance of genetic diversity is affected by ecological forces that are driven in turn by current levels of genetic variation. The strength of population regulation and the consequent patterns of population fluctuations determine the likelihood of genetic changes considered pivotal for rapid speciation. However, genetic diversity in the susceptibility to regulatory forces can reduce the magnitude of...
