Evolutionary rescue and the coexistence of generalist and specialist competitors: an experimental test.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Dec 2015

Bono Lisa M, Gensel Catharine L, Pfennig David W, Burch Christina L

Abstract excerpt

Competition for resources is thought to play a critical role in both the origins and maintenance of biodiversity. Although numerous laboratory evolution experiments have confirmed that competition can be a key driver of adaptive diversification, few have demonstrated its role in the maintenance of the resulting diversity. We investigate the conditions that favour the origin and maintenance of alternative...
