Abstract excerpt
When competitive exclusion between lineages and genetic adaptation within lineages occur on the same timescale, the two processes have the potential to interact. I use experimental microbial evolution where strains of a photosynthetic microbe that differ in their physiological response to CO(2) enrichment are grown either alone or in communities for hundreds of generations under CO(2) enrichment. After about 300...
