Evolution of specialization in resource utilization in structured metapopulations.

Journal of biological dynamics - 1 Jul 2008

Nurmi Tuomas, Geritz Stefan, Parvinen Kalle, Gyllenberg Mats

Abstract excerpt

We study the evolution of resource utilization in a structured discrete-time metapopulation model with an infinite number of patches, prone to local catastrophes. The consumer faces a trade-off in the abilities to consume two resources available in different amounts in each patch. We analyse how the evolution of specialization in the utilization of the resources is affected by different ecological factors:...
