Mortality and coexistence time both cause changes in predator-prey co-evolutionary dynamics

Abstract

20All organisms are sensitive to the abiotic environment, and in multispecies communities a 21 deteriorating environment increasing mortality and limiting coexistence time can cause 22These results provide testable hypotheses for future studies of predator-prey systems and we 33 hope this work will help to bridge the gap in our knowledge how ecological and evolutionary 34 process together shape composition of microbial communities. 35 36 37 38
