congrats Becca & Al!
Well done Farshad on this project!
I thought that if individuals can choose habitats based on their traits that it would prevent competition from forming range limits
but I was wrong - it actually makes competitively-formed range limits SHARPER
and Farshad can cogently explain why
I would buy 10 copies of this if it were a children's book make it happen @theonion.com
