Abstract excerpt
Understanding stable coexistence of competing species despite the competitive exclusion principle has been a central topic in ecology. Previous studies revealed that rapid contemporary evolution can promote species coexistence, but the mechanisms behind coexistence are not fully understood. A recent study showed that predator evolution can promote fluctuation-dependent species coexistence. Here, I propose a new...
