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 …

Earth system models must predict forest responses to global change in order to simulate
future global climate, hydrology, and ecosystem dynamics. These models are increasingly …

Biotic interactions are widely recognised as the backbone of ecological communities, but
how best to study them is a subject of intense debate, especially at macro‐ecological scales …

Research into biotic interactions has been a core theme of ecology for over a century.
However, despite the obvious role that biota play in the global carbon cycle, the effects of …

Trait-based ecology has improved our understanding of the functioning of organisms,
communities, ecosystems, and beyond. However, its predictive ability remains limited as …

Humans and the environment form a single complex system where humans not only
influence ecosystems but also react to them. Despite this, there are far fewer coupled human …

Ecosystem response to climate change is complex. In order to forecast ecosystem dynamics,
we need high-quality data on changes in past species abundance that can inform process …

Simple Summary Understanding biological invasion mechanisms is crucial to design
effective management strategies preventing their impacts on ecosystems. If the role of long …

All organisms must simultaneously tolerate the environment and access limiting resources if
they are to persist. Approaches to understanding abiotic filtering and competitive interactions …

Ecological strategy is the tactics employed by species in adapting to abiotic and biotic
conditions. The ecological strategy spectrum is defined as the relative proportion of species …
