We present a simple model of adaptive radiation in evolution based on species competition. Competition is found to promote species divergence and branching, and to dampen the net species production. In the model simulations, high taxonomic diversification and branching take place during the beginning of the radiation. The results show striking similarities with empirical data and highlight the mechanism of competition as an important driving factor for accelerated evolutionary transformation.
我们提出了一个基于物种竞争的进化中适应性辐射的简单模型。研究发现竞争会促进物种分化和分支,并抑制物种的净产生。在模型模拟中,高度的分类学多样化和分支发生在辐射开始阶段。结果显示出与实证数据的显著相似性,并突出了竞争机制作为加速进化转变的一个重要驱动因素。
