    Ecological polymorphism influences species coexistence. This study models species invasion, revealing polymorphism

    Area of Science:

    • Ecology
    • Evolutionary Biology
    • Theoretical Ecology

    Background:

    • The role of ecological polymorphism in species coexistence remains largely unexplored.
    • Previous research has primarily focused on monomorphic species interactions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of ecological polymorphism on species invasion and coexistence.
    • To extend existing models of competitive interactions to include polymorphic species.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and analysis of a theoretical model of competitive interactions.
    • Examination of three invasion scenarios: monomorphic-monomorphic, monomorphic-polymorphic, and polymorphic-polymorphic.

    Main Results:

    • Polymorphism significantly affects invasion dynamics and the potential for species coexistence.

  • Generalizations regarding invasion and coexistence were derived across different ecological situations.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ecological polymorphism is a crucial factor shaping the structure of ecological communities.
    • The study highlights the need to consider intraspecific variation in ecological and evolutionary models.
