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

Growing evidence suggests that temporally fluctuating environments are important in
maintaining variation both within and between species. To date, however, studies of genetic …

Community ecology typically assumes that competitive exclusion and species coexistence
are unaffected by evolution on the time scale of ecological dynamics. However, recent …

Competition between species arises when two or more species share at least some of the
same limited resources. It is likely to affect all species, as well as many higher-level aspects …

The ability for microbes to enter dormant states is adaptive under resource fluctuations and
has been linked to the maintenance of diversity. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which …

Competition drives evolutionary change across taxa, but our understanding of how
competitive differences among species directs the evolution of interspecific interactions …

Species exhibit various trade‐offs that can result in stable coexistence of competitors. The
gleaner–opportunist trade‐off to fluctuations in resource abundance is one of the most …

Evolvability is the capacity of a population to generate heritable variation that can be acted
upon by natural selection. This ability influences the adaptations and fitness of individual …

Nature exhibits rapid evolution in response to human activities. When using natural
resources for their own profit, humans should account for such responses. Stackelberg …

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