Evolution and community assembly across spatial scales
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 …

The ephemeral resource patch concept
Ephemeral resource patches (ERPs)–short lived resources including dung, carrion,
temporary pools, rotting vegetation, decaying wood, and fungi–are found throughout every …

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 …

Negative frequency dependent selection unites ecology and evolution
MR Christie, GG McNickle - Ecology and Evolution, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
From genes to communities, understanding how diversity is maintained remains a
fundamental question in biology. One challenging to identify, yet potentially ubiquitous …

When ecology fails: how reproductive interactions promote species coexistence
That species must differ ecologically is often viewed as a fundamental condition for their
stable coexistence in biological communities. Yet, recent work has shown that ecologically …

Beyond simple adaptation: Incorporating other evolutionary processes and concepts into eco‐evolutionary dynamics
Studies of eco‐evolutionary dynamics have integrated evolution with ecological processes
at multiple scales (populations, communities and ecosystems) and with multiple interspecific …

Rapid evolution promotes fluctuation‐dependent species coexistence
M Yamamichi, AD Letten - Ecology Letters, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Recent studies have demonstrated that rapid contemporary evolution can play a significant
role in regulating population dynamics on ecological timescales. Here we identify a …

Current and future plant invasions in protected areas: Does clonality matter?
JZ Wan, CJ Wang, NE Zimmermann… - Diversity and …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Aim Protected areas (PAs) play an important role in biodiversity conservation, but
remain increasingly threatened by invasive alien plant species (IAPS) in conjunction with …

Frequency‐dependent community dynamics driven by sexual interactions
Research in community ecology has tended to focus on trophic interactions (eg, predation,
resource competition) as driving forces of community dynamics, and sexual interactions …
