The evolution of size-dependent competitive interactions promotes species coexistence.

The Journal of animal ecology - 1 Nov 2021

Abstract excerpt

Theory indicates that competing species coexist in a community when intraspecific competition is stronger than interspecific competition. When body size determines the outcome of competitive interactions between individuals, coexistence depends also on how resource use and the ability to compete for these resources change with body size. Testing coexistence theory in size-structured communities, therefore,...
