Ecology: Paradox of the clumps
Abstract
A fresh look at an established model in ecology has generated insights into how species coexist with each other. But it has also raised a vexed question: what constitutes the ecological identity of species?
Classical ecology discovered the principle of competitive exclusion — or, more pithily, 'one species, one niche'. In order to coexist, species must have their own individual way to make a living, otherwise the superior competitors would exclude the inferior.
