Significance The diversity of living organisms is a fundamental feature of biology, yet still challenging to understand. Genomic data reveal that many closely related strains of bacteria can coexist for far longer than expected from “survival of the fittest.” To explain this, is it necessary to assume a multitude of specialist niches, or are other mechanisms possible? We investigate, from simple but general models, an alternate scenario: coexistence of a large number of closely related strains in a chaotic state driven by ecological interactions. The chaos is characterized by local blooms and busts that are out of sync at different spatial locations. A natural example is multiple nonspecialist strains of a pathogen species infecting multiple strains of a host species.
