Competition alters species’ plastic and genetic response to environmental change

Lynn Govaert; Luis J. Gilarranz; Florian Altermatt

The authors exposed three freshwater ciliates to long-term selection of increasing salinity in the absence and presence of competitors. Their results show that the evolutionary and plastic responses to increasing salinity depended both on interspecific competition and the magnitude of the abiotic salinity change, ultimately determining species persistence.
