Research on the dynamics of biodiversity has progressed tremendously over recent years,
although in two separate directions–ecological, to determine change over space at a given …

Species formation during adaptive radiation often occurs in the context of a changing
environment. The establishment and arrangement of populations, in space and time, sets up …

Aim Understanding how ecological and evolutionary processes together determine patterns
of biodiversity remains a central aim in biology. Guided by ecological theory, we use data …

Aim Biodiversity responses to changing environmental forcing on species are often
characterized by considerable time‐lags (= relaxation times). Although changes to the …

Studies into the complex interaction between an organism and changes to its biotic and
abiotic environment are fundamental to understanding what regulates biodiversity. These …

Current patterns of biological diversity are influenced by both historical and present-day
factors, yet research in ecology and evolution is largely split between paleontological and …

Pioneer naturalists such as Whewell, Lyell, Humboldt, Darwin and Wallace acknowledged
the interactions between ecological and evolutionary forces, as well as the roles of …

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 …

How natural communities maintain their remarkable biodiversity and which species survive
in complex communities are central questions in ecology. Resource competition models …
