Abstract Local adaptation is a common but not ubiquitous feature of species interactions, and understanding the circumstances under which it evolves illuminates factors that influence adaptive population divergence. Antagonistic interactions dominate local literature relative to mutualistic ones, preventing an overall assessment within interspecific interactions. Here, we tested whether legume Medicago lupulina adapted locally abundant nitrogen‐fixing rhizobial bacteria vary in frequency...
Abstract The fitness of individual species depends on their ability to persist and establish at low densities, just as the diversity ecological communities establishment persistence low‐density, “invader” species. Theory predicts that abiotic conditions competitive make‐up resident jointly shape invader fitness, limiting phenotypic identity successful invaders. We use an invasion experiment ask how traits 20 introduced plant alter absolute in fragments differ size, conditions, community....
