The Effect of Competition Among Resources on Phenotypic Evolution of Consumers

Abstract

<p>The pattern of competition among consumers</p><p>is one of the important factors that</p><p>determine if a population of the consumers</p><p>diverges or remains monomophic.</p><p>Despite its importance,</p><p>what factors can affect the pattern</p><p>has not been investigated.</p><p>One of such factors is</p><p>the shape of resource distribution.</p><p>Here I investigate the effect of</p><p>competition among resources.</p><p>Because the competition among resources</p><p>alter the resource distribution,</p><p>the evolutionary dynamics of the consumers</p><p>is also affected.</p>
