Evolvability Costs of Niche Expansion.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Jan 2020

Bono Lisa M, Draghi Jeremy A, Turner Paul E

Abstract excerpt

What prevents generalists from displacing specialists, despite obvious competitive advantages of utilizing a broad niche? The classic genetic explanation is antagonistic pleiotropy: genes underlying the generalism produce 'jacks-of-all-trades' that are masters of none. However, experiments challenge this assumption that mutations enabling niche expansion must reduce fitness in other environments. Theory suggests...
