Phytoplankton is confronted with a variable assemblage of zooplankton grazers that create a
strong selection pressure for traits that reduce mortality. Phytoplankton is, however, also …

An increasing number of studies demonstrate phenotypic and genetic changes in natural
populations that are subject to climate change, and there is hope that some of these …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Ecology and evolution have long been recognized as reciprocally influencing each other,
with recent research emphasizing how such interactions can occur even on very short …

Recent field experiments on vertebrates showed that the mere presence of a predator would
cause a dramatic change of prey demography. Fear of predators increases the survival …

Theoretical models pertaining to feedbacks between ecological and evolutionary processes
are prevalent in multiple biological fields. An integrative overview is currently lacking, due to …

Stackelberg evolutionary game (SEG) theory combines classical and evolutionary game
theory to frame interactions between a rational leader and evolving followers. In some of …

Human‐induced trait change has been documented in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial
ecosystems worldwide. These trait changes are driven by phenotypic plasticity and …

Although numerous studies show that communities are jointly influenced by predation and
competitive interactions, few have resolved how temporal variability in these interactions …

Recent studies have revealed the importance of feedbacks between contemporary rapid
evolution (ie evolution that occurs through changes in allele frequencies) and ecological …
