The Red Queen and the Court Jester: species diversity and the role of biotic and abiotic factors through time
MJ Benton - science, 2009 - science.org
Evolution may be dominated by biotic factors, as in the Red Queen model, or abiotic factors,
as in the Court Jester model, or a mixture of both. The two models appear to operate …
