Consequences of life-cycle complexity to the potential for evolutionary branching

Abstract: Complex life-cycles - that is, organismal development that unfolds across ecological niches - are pervasive in nature. In this work we set out to investigate the effects of complex life-cycles on the potential for diversification via evolutionary branching. We did this by analyzing a mathematical model of a consumer with two life-stages, each of which is characterized by a specific feeding efficiency trait that undergoes evolutionary change in response to ecological conditions such as resource competition. We … Show more
