Interspecific Niche Competition Increases Morphological Diversity in Multi-Species Microbial Communities
Intraspecific competition for limited niches has been recognized as a driving force for adaptive radiation, but results for the role of interspecific competition have been mixed. Here, we report the adaptive diversification of the model bacteria Pseudomonas fluorescens in the presence of different n...
