Abstract: Abstract Character displacement that leads to divergent phenotypes between sympatric species has been hypothesized to facilitate coexistence and promote the accumulation of biodiversity. However, there are alternative evolutionary mechanisms that may also lead to the… read more here.

Abstract: Character displacement may facilitate species coexistence through niche partitioning. However, the degree to which character displacement influences broader patterns of community assembly is unclear. Here, we capitalize on a natural experiment of community assembly on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blx116
Abstract: Species invasions are a global scourge. Nonetheless, they provide the appropriate evolutionary setting to rigorously test the role that interspecific competition plays in species evolution. The process of ecological character displacement, in which species diverge… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cz/zox069
Abstract: Abstract Selection against hybridization can cause mating traits to diverge between species in sympatry via reproductive character displacement (RCD). Additionally, selection against interspecific fighting can cause aggressive traits to diverge between sympatric species via agonistic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2018.0124
Abstract: Ecological differences between the sexes are often interpreted as evidence of within-species ecological character displacement (ECD), a hypothesis with almost no direct tests. Here, we experimentally test two predictions that are direct corollaries of ECD… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.13365
Abstract: Despite long‐standing interest in the evolutionary ecology of plants that share pollinators, few studies have explored how these interactions may affect communities during both community assembly (ecological sorting) and through ongoing, in situ evolution (character… read more here.
