An Evolutionary and Ecological Community Model for Distribution of Phenotypes and Abundances among Competing Species.

Abstract excerpt

AbstractHere, we propose a theory for the structure of communities of competing species. We include ecologically realistic assumptions, such as density dependence and stochastic fluctuations in the environment, and analyze how evolution caused by r- and K-selection will affect the packing of species in the phenotypic space as well as the species abundance distribution. Species-specific traits have the same matrix...
