Historically, many biologists assumed that evolution and ecology acted independently
because evolution occurred over distances too great to influence most ecological patterns …

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

Recognition that evolution operates on the same timescale as ecological processes has
motivated growing interest in eco-evolutionary dynamics. Nonetheless, generating sufficient …

The effect of ecological change on evolution has long been a focus of scientific research.
The reverse—how evolutionary dynamics affect ecological traits—has only recently captured …

time - PMC Back to Top Skip to main content NIH NLM Logo Access keys NCBI Homepage …

Natural systems harbor complex interactions that are fundamental parts of ecology and
evolution. These interactions challenge our inclinations and training to seek the simplest …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 723–732 Abstract Given the potential for rapid and
microgeographical adaptation, ecologists increasingly are exploring evolutionary …

The interplay of ecology and evolution has been a rich area of research for decades. A
surge of interest in this area was catalyzed by the observation that evolution by natural …

A growing body of empirical work supports and informs the role of genetic variation and
contemporary evolution in shaping ecological dynamics at the population, community and …

Species in a common landscape often face similar selective environments. The capacity of
organisms to adapt to these environments may be largely species specific. Quantifying …
