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 …

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 …

Ecological theory suggests that large-scale patterns such as community stability can be
influenced by changes in interspecific interactions that arise from the behavioural and/or …

How patterns in community diversity emerge is a long-standing question in ecology. Studies
suggested that community diversity and interspecific interactions are interdependent …

Host resistance to parasites is a rapidly evolving trait that can influence how hosts modify
ecosystems. Eco-evolutionary feedbacks may develop if the ecosystem effects of host …

Intraspecific trait variation (ITV) is a widespread feature of life, but it is an open question how
ITV affects between‐species coexistence. Recent theoretical studies have produced …

Environmental variability is ubiquitous, but its effects on populations are not fully understood
or predictable. Recent attention has focused on how rapid evolution can impact ecological …

Evolution can alter the stability and dynamics of ecological communities; for example, prey
evolution can drive cyclic dynamics in predator-prey systems that are not possible in the …

Testing fundamental theories of diversity and evolutionary change often requires tracking
the frequencies of clonal lineages within a population over time. Current tracking methods in …

Trade‐offs between functional traits are ubiquitous in nature and can promote species
coexistence depending on their shape. Classic theory predicts that convex trade‐offs …
