Rapid evolution of prey maintains predator diversity.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2019

Mougi Akihiko

Abstract excerpt

Factors maintaining the populations of diverse species that share limited resources or prey remain important issues in ecology. In the present study, I propose that heritable intraspecific variation in prey, which facilitates natural selection, is a key to solve this issue. A mathematical model reveals that diverse genotypes in a prey promote the coexistence of multiple predator species. When two predators share...
