Evolution is a cooperative process: the biodiversity-related niches differentiation theory (BNDT) can explain why.

Theoretical biology forum - 1 Jan 2011

Gatti Roberto Cazzolla

Abstract excerpt

A. McFayden and G.E. Hutchinson defined a niche as a multidimensional space or hypervolume within the environment that allows an individual or a species to survive, we consider niches as a fundamental ecological variable that regulate species' composition and relation in ecosystems. Successively the niche concept has been associated to the genetic term "phenotype" by MacArthurstressing the importance on what a...
