Trade-offs, spatial heterogeneity, and the maintenance of microbial diversity.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Feb 2013

Porter Stephanie S, Rice Kevin J

Abstract excerpt

Specialization and concomitant trade-offs are assumed to underlie the non-neutral coexistence of lineages. Trade-offs across heterogeneous environments can promote diversity by preventing competitive exclusion. However, the importance of trade-offs in maintaining diversity in natural microbial assemblages is unclear, as trade-offs are frequently not detected in artificial evolution experiments. Stressful...
