Ecological opportunity leads to the emergence of an alternative behavioural phenotype in a tropical bird.

The Journal of animal ecology - 1 Jul 2015

Touchton Janeene M, Wikelski Martin

Abstract excerpt

Loss of a dominant competitor can open ecological opportunities. Ecological opportunities are considered prerequisites for adaptive radiations. Nonetheless, initiation of diversification in response to ecological opportunity is seldom observed, so we know little about the stages by which behaviou...
