In the face of rapid changes in Earth's biota, understanding the evolutionary processes that
drive patterns of species diversity, differentiation, and coexistence in ecosystems globally …

Despite a conceptual understanding that evolution and species interactions are inextricably
linked, it remains challenging to study ecological and evolutionary dynamics together over …

The increasing availability of phylogenetic data, computing power and informatics tools has
facilitated a rapid expansion of studies that apply phylogenetic data and methods to …

Evolutionary Community Ecology develops a unified framework for understanding the
structure of ecological communities and the dynamics of natural selection that shape the …

Community ecology traditionally focuses on hypothetical-deductive and experimental
approaches and often is criticized for narrowing our understanding of nature to local …

Patterns in biodiversity and species coexistence are the result of multiple interacting
processes including evolutionary history, trait variation, species interactions, dispersal …

Ecological communities are collections of species that co-occur in space and time and that
potentially interact with one another. Community ecologists study both the patterns within …

▪ Abstract As better phylogenetic hypotheses become available for many groups of
organisms, studies in community ecology can be informed by knowledge of the evolutionary …

Despite decades of research on the interactions between ecology and evolution,
opportunities still remain to further integrate the two disciplines, especially when considering …

There is growing interest in the interplay between ecological interactions among community
members and evolutionary processes. At all scales, from genetic variation within …
