The Niche in Competition and Evolution

By Wallace Arthur

Using the concept of the niche (and multiple niche) this book attempts to synthesise two widely-investigated topics: polymorphism and between-species competition; the author's view being that multiple-niche coexistence and multiple- niche polymorphism together represent a common means of coexistence of competitors. Experimental detail and fieldwork are frequently cited in order to create a common point of reference for both population ecologists and geneticists. Concluding chapters discuss other important principles and hypotheses in evolution which are related to the niche concept.
