Much of the focus in evolutionary biology has been on the adaptive differentiation among
organisms. It is equally important to understand the processes that result in similarities of …

Abstract Changes in temperature affect consumer–resource interactions, which underpin the
functioning of ecosystems. However, existing studies report contrasting predictions …

Plants are often exposed to multiple herbivores and densities of these attackers (or
corresponding damage intensities) often fluctuate greatly in the field. Plant‐mediated …

Over the past century, the Earth has experienced roughly 0.4–0.8∘ C rise in the average
temperature and which is projected to increase between 1.4 and 5.8∘ C by the year 2100 …

Evolutionary dynamics are subject to constraints ranging from limitations on what is
physically possible to limitations on the pathways that evolution can take. One set of …

Demographic and environmental heterogeneities are prevalent across many natural
systems. Earlier studies on metapopulation models have mostly considered heterogeneities …

Stability of a dynamic equilibrium in a predator-prey system depends both on the type of
functional response and on the point of equilibrium on the response curve. Saturation effects …

Intrinsically generated oscillations are a defining feature of consumer-resource interactions.
They can have important consequences for the evolution of consumer functional responses …

Antipredator behavior is known to have a strong effect on prey population dynamics. While
there have been many studies of antipredator behavior in population dynamic models, none …

Most ecological theory emphasizes exploitative competition and ignores interference
competition. Much corresponding theory centers around the R* rule, which predicts that …
