Character displacement in the presence of multiple trait differences: Evolution of the storage effect in germination and growth.

Abstract excerpt

Ecological character displacement is a prominent hypothesis for the maintenance of ecological differences between species that are critical to stable coexistence. Models of character displacement often ascribe interspecific competitive interactions to a single character, but multiple characters contribute to competition, and their effects on selection can be nonadditive. Focusing on one character, we ask if other...
