Adaptation in Escherichia coli : ecological and genetic constraints on diversification

There is growing evidence that disruptive selection generated by intraspecific resource competition may be a common mechanism for generating biological diversity. Adaptive dynamics models provide a framework describing how frequency dependent selection drives such diversification, but these models d...
