Disturbance decreases genotypic diversity by reducing colonization: Implications for disturbance-diversity feedbacks.

Abstract excerpt

One objective of eco-evolutionary dynamics is to understand how the interplay between ecology and evolution on contemporary timescales contributes to the maintenance of biodiversity. Disturbance is an ecological process that can alter species diversity through both ecological and evolutionary effects on colonization and extinction dynamics. While analogous mechanisms likely operate among genotypes within a...
