Selection can be influenced by variation in local densities through space and across development
Jessie Mutzand Brian D. Inouye This is a plain language summary of a Functional Ecology research article which can be found here. Interactions among species, such as predation or competition, often depend on how many individual organisms occur at a small spatial scale – their local density. These interactions can in turn favor certain traits. For example, when local density is high and there is … Continue reading Selection can be influenced by variation in local densities through space and across development
