Niche Occupation Limits Adaptive Radiation in Experimental Microcosms
Niche Occupation Limits Adaptive Radiation in Experimental Microcosms is a scholarly work by Michael A. Brockhurst, Angus Buckling, and Nick Colegrave, published in 2007 in ''PLOS One''. The main subjects of the publication include environmental niche modelling, adaptive radiation, Microcosm, niche segregation, ecological niche, lineage, ecology, biology, niche, pollinator decline, evolutionary dynamics, range, biological competition, and niche differentiation. The authors tested the role of resident diversity on adaptive radiations in experimental populations of the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens that readily diversify into a range of niche specialists when grown in a heterogeneous environment.
