These data show that although fitness tradeoffs between niches can result in the maintenance of diversity [2], they are not necessarily sufficient for the initial establishment of diversity.
This result leads to predictions about the maintenance of diversity in advective systems, and complements the "sweepstakes" hypothesis and other hypotheses proposed to explain cases of low allelic diversity in species with high fecundity.
Better performance of SaDE is achieved by sustained maintenance of diversity throughout the evolutionary process thus producing better individuals consistently.
It is concluded that the dominant trend is an increase or maintenance of diversity among solar PV technologies, which likely contributes positively to innovation and diffusion.
Alexander JM (2007) presents a number of models involving imitation of neighbors' behavior in games, in which maintenance of diversity requires social network structures other than full communication between all agents.
Using the existing metric in [27], we analyse and compare (1) convergence to the Pareto-optimal set and (2) maintenance of diversity in solutions of the Pareto-optimal set between NSGA-II-d and NSGA-II.
Further explorations with spatially explicit models will be required to fully appreciate the consequence of land use change and altered disturbance regimes on patterns of species distribution and the maintenance of diversity.
Without variation in the cost of resistance, these models for the maintenance of diversity are also difficult to apply to this population.
The example of competition is raised because it has a long history in investigations of the maintenance of diversity at the level of the PEM, as exemplified in Hutchinson's "Homage to Santa Rosalia" [1].
The results presented in this study highlight associations that are most promising for future work aimed at understanding the role of edaphic factors and evolutionary history in determining community assemblages, and the maintenance of diversity, at the local-scale.
