  3. 2. Diversification of predators in multi-trophic communities: A trait-based theoretical approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Julio Antonio Ayala Lopez; [2022]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : One of the main challenges in ecology and evolutionary biology is to understand how biodiversity emerges and is maintained, given the complexity of ecological and evolutionary processes combined. Understanding how multi-trophic interactions occur from a theoretical perspective is highly relevant for our understanding of diversification in complex ecosystems. READ MORE
