Invasion Rate Versus Diversity in Population Dynamics with Catastrophes.

Abstract excerpt

A key question in the current diversity crisis is how diversity has been maintained throughout evolution and how to preserve it. Modern coexistence theories suggest that a high invasion rate of rare new types is directly related to diversity. We show that adding almost any mechanism of catastrophes to a stochastic birth, death, and mutation process with limited carrying capacity induces a novel phase transition...
