Stability and the competition-dispersal trade-off as drivers of speciation and biodiversity gradients
The geography of speciation is one of the most contentious topics at the frontier between ecology and evolution. Here, building on previous hypotheses, I propose that ecological constraints on species co-existence mediate the likelihood of speciation, via a trade-off between competitive and dispersa...
