Character displacement: ecological and reproductive responses to a common evolutionary problem.

30 Aug 2009 Character displacement is the process by which traits evolve in response to selection to lessen resource competition or reproductive interactions between species. Although character displacement has long been viewed as an important mechanism for ... Read more...
