Competition-driven eco-evolutionary feedback reshapes bacteriophage lambda's fitness landscape and enables speciation.

Abstract excerpt

A major challenge in evolutionary biology is explaining how populations navigate rugged fitness landscapes without getting trapped on local optima. One idea illustrated by adaptive dynamics theory is that as populations adapt, their newly enhanced capacities to exploit resources alter fitness payoffs and restructure the landscape in ways that promote speciation by opening new adaptive pathways. While there have...
