Demographic consequences of evolution of diversity: an interaction between evolutionary and ecological dynamics

虽然性状和遗传多样性的进化变化对生态（人口统计学）动态的影响已经得到了很多理论关注，但造成这种生态后果的机制通常是未知的。表型和遗传多样性被认为可以提高种群的生产力和可持续性，增强适应性进化的能力。在这里，我研究了一些多态系统（包括动物和植物）多样性进化的生态后果。我部分证实了遗传或表型多样性增加的进化机制和结果，这可能有助于理解进化和生态动力学之间的相互作用。

Although the effect of evolutionary changes in traits and genetic diversity on ecological (demographic) dynamics has received much theoretical attention, the mechanisms responsible for such ecological consequences are usually unknown. Phenotypic and genetic diversity have been suggested to increase population productivity and sustainability, and to enhance the ability of adaptive evolution. Here I investigated the ecological consequence of evolution of diversity in some polymorphic systems, including both animals and plants. I partially confirmed that mechanism and consequence of the evolution of increased genetic or phenotypic diversity, which may contribute to understand the interaction between evolutionary and ecological dynamics.
