Major Themes and Unsolved Problems
Major Themes and Unsolved Problems
Character displacement is well supported theoretically and empirically, and it plays a key, and often decisive, role in generating and maintaining biodiversity. Yet a number of important issues regarding the causes and consequences of character displacement remain unresolved. Additional research into character displacement promises to have far-reaching ramifications. Indeed, because character displacement is central in the origins, abundance, and distribution of biodiversity, understanding character displacement's causes and consequences can shed light onto some of the most fundamental issues in evolutionary biology and ecology, including how new species arise, diversify, and coexist.
