The evolution of niche overlap and competitive differences
Competition can result in evolutionary changes to coexistence between competitors but
there are no theoretical models that predict how the components of coexistence change …

Intraspecific variation in species interactions promotes the feasibility of mutualistic assemblages
Patterns of resource use observed at the species level emerge from the way individuals
exploit the range of available resources. Hence, accounting for interindividual differences in …

Integrating eco‐evolutionary dynamics and modern coexistence theory
Community ecology typically assumes that competitive exclusion and species coexistence
are unaffected by evolution on the time scale of ecological dynamics. However, recent …

Evolution in a community context: trait responses to multiple species interactions
Species that coexist in diverse natural communities interact in complex ways that alter each
other's abundances and affect selection on each other's traits. Consequently, predicting trait …

Drivers of individual niche variation in coexisting species
Although neglected by classic niche theory, individual variation is now recognized as a
prevalent phenomenon in nature with evolutionary and ecological relevance. Recent theory …

Pluck or luck: does trait variation or chance drive variation in lifetime reproductive success?
While there has been extensive interest in how intraspecific trait variation affects ecological
processes, outcomes are highly variable even when individuals are identical: some are …

Niche differences, not fitness differences, explain predicted coexistence across ecological groups
Understanding the drivers of species coexistence is essential in ecology. Niche and fitness
differences (ie how species limit themselves compared to others and species' differences in …
