Competition-colonization dynamics
An ecology approach to quasispecies dynamics and virulence evolution in RNA viruses
Samuel Ojosnegros, Niko Beerenwinkel, and Esteban Domingo
Not the first or best paper on the subject, just the one I read today. A single viral clone, raised in a pure cell culture, evolved into two differnt subpopulations. The phenotypes of the two clades clearly displayed either the competitor (less fit, less virulent, but interfered with replication of the other type) or the colonization (more fit, more virulent) strategy.
