TL;DRAbstract

Why should species be ecologically restricted? Why doesn't one omni-talented species evolve and put all the others out of business? When we can answer that question, we will clearly know the explanation of the habitat pattern. We shall know why we see more diversity in places with a greater variety of physical and chemical conditions. But, it turns out, we will also be well on our way to understanding most other diversity patterns too.
