Sympatric speciation: compliance with phenotype diversification from a single genotype
Sympatric speciation: compliance with phenotype diversification from a single genotype
A novel mechanism for sympatric speciation that takes into account complex bioprocesses within each individual organism is proposed. According to dynamical systems theory, organisms with identical genotypes can possess differentiated physiological states and may coexist 'symbiotically'through appropriate mutual interaction. With mutations, the phenotypically differentiated organisms gradually come to possess distinct …
