The temporal dynamics of species diversity are shaped by variations in the rates of speciation and extinction, and there is a long history of inferring these rates using first and last appearances of
In a finite population, the rate at which favorable mutations at several loci can evolve simultaneously is limited by the reproductive capacity of the species and the effective population number. The
In ant communities, species coexist by using different foraging strategies. We developed an adaptive dynamics model to gain a better understanding of the factors that promote the emergence and mainten
