Abstract excerpt
Understanding what determines species' ecological success is a central challenge in ecology. Competitive ability and abiotic tolerance are expected to be strong predictors of species success, yet theory predicts a trade-off between them. Since some traits are phylogenetically conserved whereas others are evolutionarily labile, species may have the potential to combine competitive ability with abiotic tolerance....
