Ecological opportunity and predator-prey interactions: linking eco-evolutionary processes and diversification in adaptive radiations.

Abstract excerpt

Much of life's diversity has arisen through ecological opportunity and adaptive radiations, but the mechanistic underpinning of such diversification is not fully understood. Competition and predation can affect adaptive radiations, but contrasting theoretical and empirical results show that they can both promote and interrupt diversification. A mechanistic understanding of the link between microevolutionary...
