Causes of variation in biotic interaction strength and phenotypic selection along an altitudinal gradient.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2014

Mezquida Eduardo T, Benkman Craig W

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the causes of variation in biotic interaction strength and phenotypic selection remains one of the outstanding goals of evolutionary ecology. Here we examine the variation in strength of interactions between two seed predators, common crossbills (Loxia curvirostra) and European red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris), and mountain pine (Pinus uncinata) at and below tree limit in the Pyrenees, and how this...
