The finding that adaptive evolution can often be substantial enough to alter ecological
dynamics challenges traditional views of community ecology that ignore evolution. Here, we …

Community coalescence, the mixing of different communities, is widespread throughout
microbial ecology. Coalescence can result in approximately equal contributions from the …

Species traits are an essential currency in ecology, evolution, biogeography, and
conservation biology. However, trait databases are unavailable for most organisms …

Defining the organisation of species interaction networks and unveiling the processes
behind their assembly is fundamental to understanding patterns of biodiversity, community …

Weed communities influence the dynamics of ecosystems, particularly in disturbed
environments where anthropogenic activities often result in higher pollution. Understanding …

Interspecific coevolutionary interactions can result in rapid biotic adaptation, but most
studies have focused only on species pairs. Here, we (co) evolved five microbial species in …

Species‐abundance distributions (SADs) describe the spectrum of commonness and rarity
in a community. Beyond the universal observation that most species are rare and only a few …

How is trait diversity in a community apportioned between and within coevolving species?
Disruptive selection may result in either a few species with large intraspecific trait variation …

Trait-based approaches focus on the functional traits that define how organisms interact with
the environment and each other. They represent an efficient way to capture different aspects …

Abstract Theory predicts that trade-offs, quantifying costs of functional trait adjustments,
crucially affect community trait adaptation to altered environmental conditions, but empirical …
