Evolution of increased specialization in resource

Reference no: EM1395088

Question: A factor that might contribute to increasing species numbers over time is the evolution of increased specialization in resource use, whereby more species coexist by more finely partitioning resources. Discuss ways in which, using either fossil or extant organisms, one might test the hypothesis that a clade is composed of increasingly specialized species over the course of evolutionary time.
