The evolutionary convergence of avian lifestyles and their constrained coevolution with species’ ecological niche

The fit between life histories and ecological niche is a paradigm of phenotypic evolution, also widely used to explain patterns of species co-occurrence. By analysing the lifestyles of a sympatric avian assemblage, we show that species’ solutions to environmental problems are not unbound. We identif...
