On the sympatric evolution and evolutionary stability of coexistence by relative nonlinearity of competition.
If two species exhibit different nonlinear responses to a single shared resource, and if each species modifies the resource dynamics such that this favors its competitor, they may stably coexist. This coexistence mechanism, known as relative nonlinearity of competition, is well understood theoretica...
