Size asymmetry of resource competition and the structure of plant communities: Commentary on DeMalach et al. 2016
Original language description
Finally, it should be noted that symmetry of competition is an inherent property of the resource contested and is not easily changed by natural selection. However, it sets a stage on which natural selection operates. As competitive asymmetry typically increases mortality (Hara 1993; DeMalach et al. 2016), it can have tremendous effects on selective and evolutionary patterns in species. It is surprising how little is known about evolution in systems with asymmetric competition. DeMalach et al. (2016) should be praised for showing that mode of competition may underlie patterns in fields of ecology where its role has not been expected. This should be an inspiration for further research on the concept, both in ecology and evolution.
