Convergence or redundancy: alternative views about the evolutionary genomics of character displacement
An evolutionary debate contrasts the importance of genetic convergence versus genetic
redundancy. In genetic convergence, the same adaptive trait evolves because of similar …

Male and female Anolis carolinensis maintain their dimorphism despite the presence of novel interspecific competition
Natural selection favors sexual dimorphism that reduces resource competition between the
sexes of the same species. However, niche partitioning among interspecific competitors …
