Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Oct 2010
Agashe Deepa, Bolnick Daniel I
Abstract excerpt
Theory and empirical evidence show that intraspecific competition can drive selection favouring the use of novel resources (i.e. niche expansion). The evolutionary response to such selection depends on genetic variation for resource use. However, while genetic variation might facilitate niche exp...
