Niche partitioning between close relatives suggests trade-offs between adaptation to local environments and competition
Niche partitioning among close relatives may reflect trade-offs underlying species divergence and coexistence (e.g., between stress tolerance and competitive ability). We quantified the effects of habitat and congeneric species interactions on fitness for two closely related herbaceous plant species, Mimulus guttatus and Mimulus laciniatus, in three common habitat types within their sympatric r...
متن کاملGenetic trade-offs and conditional neutrality contribute to local adaptation.
Divergent natural selection promotes local adaptation and can lead to reproductive isolation of populations in contrasting environments; however, the genetic basis of local adaptation remains largely unresolved in natural populations. Local adaptation might result from antagonistic pleiotropy, where alternate alleles are favoured in distinct habitats, and polymorphism is maintained by selection...
متن کاملCooperation and competition between relatives.
Individuals are predicted to behave more altruistically and less competitively toward their relatives, because they share a relatively high proportion of their genes (e.g., one-half for siblings and one-eighth for cousins). Consequently, by helping a relative reproduce, an individual passes its genes to the next generation, increasing their Darwinian fitness. This idea, termed kin selection, ha...
متن کاملA quantitative survey of local adaptation and fitness trade-offs.
The long history of reciprocal transplant studies testing the hypothesis of local adaptation has shown that populations are often adapted to their local environments. Yet many studies have not demonstrated local adaptation, suggesting that sometimes native populations are no better adapted than are genotypes from foreign environments. Local adaptation may also lead to trade-offs, in which adapt...
متن کاملTrade-offs between speed and endurance
expanding discipline of evolutionary physiology is a more detailed understanding of the role of physiological constraints in evolution (Garland and Carter, 1994; Feder et al., 2000). Physiological constraints can arise when an organism has to perform multiple tasks that place conflicting demands on its physiological design: an increase in the performance of one task may lead to a decrease in th...
