Founder takes all: density-dependent processes structure biodiversity.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Feb 2013

Waters Jonathan M, Fraser Ceridwen I, Hewitt Godfrey M

Abstract excerpt

Density-dependent processes play a key role in the spatial structuring of biodiversity. Specifically, interrelated demographic processes, such as gene surfing, high-density blocking, and competitive exclusion, can generate striking geographic contrasts in the distributions of genes and species. Here, we propose that well-studied evolutionary and ecological biogeographic patterns of postglacial recolonization,...
