Spatiotemporal ecological chaos enables gradual evolutionary diversification without niches or tradeoffs

Spatiotemporal ecological chaos enables gradual evolutionary diversification without niches or tradeoffs

Ecological and evolutionary dynamics are intrinsically entwined. On short timescales, ecological interactions determine the fate and impact of new mutants, while on longer timescales evolution shapes the entire community. Here, we study the evolution of large numbers of closely related strains with...
