Stress Ecology Environmental Stress as Ecological Driving Force and Key Player in Evolution /
Not all stress is stressful; instead, it appears that stress in the environment, below the mutation threshold, is essential for many subtle manifestations of population structures and biodiversity, and has played a substantial role in the evolution of life. Intrigued by the behavior of laboratory a...
