Genetic and plastic rewiring of food webs under climate change

MA Barbour, JP Gibert - Journal of Animal Ecology, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Climate change is altering ecological and evolutionary processes across biological scales.
These simultaneous effects of climate change pose a major challenge for predicting the …

High importance of indirect evolutionary rescue in a small food web

E van Velzen - Ecology Letters, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Evolutionary rescue may allow species to survive environmental change, but how this
mechanism operates in food webs is poorly understood. Here, the evolutionary rescue was …

Extending eco‐evolutionary theory with oligomorphic dynamics

S Lion, A Sasaki, M Boots - Ecology Letters, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding the interplay between ecological processes and the evolutionary dynamics
of quantitative traits in natural systems remains a major challenge. Two main theoretical …

Evolutionarily stable strategies in stable and periodically fluctuating populations: The Rosenzweig–MacArthur predator–prey model

K Grunert, H Holden, ER Jakobsen… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
An evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) is an evolutionary strategy that, if adapted by a
population, cannot be invaded by any deviating (mutant) strategy. The concept of ESS has …

Cryptic eco‐evolutionary feedback in the city: Urban evolution of prey dampens the effect of urban evolution of the predator

KI Brans, N Tüzün, A Sentis… - Journal of Animal …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Most research on eco‐evolutionary feedbacks focuses on ecological consequences of
evolution in a single species. This ignores the fact that evolution in response to a shared …

Evolutionary rescue can prevent rate-induced tipping

A Vanselow, L Halekotte, U Feudel - Theoretical Ecology, 2022 - Springer
The transformation of ecosystems proceeds at unprecedented rates. Recent studies suggest
that high rates of environmental change can cause rate-induced tipping. In ecological …

Estimating parameters from multiple time series of population dynamics using Bayesian inference

B Rosenbaum, M Raatz, G Weithoff… - Frontiers in Ecology …, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Empirical time series of interacting entities, eg, species abundances, are highly useful to
study ecological mechanisms. Mathematical models are valuable tools to further elucidate …

Unravelling the factors of evolutionary repeatability: insights and perspectives on predictability in evolutionary biology

SM Pearless, NE Freed - Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2024 - frontiersin.org
Evolutionary biology was previously considered a historical science with predictions about
evolutionary trajectories believed to be near impossible. The development of high …

Feedbacks between size and density determine rapid eco‐phenotypic dynamics

JP Gibert, ZY Han, DJ Wieczynski, S Votzke… - Functional …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Body size is a fundamental trait linked to many ecological processes—from individuals to
ecosystems. Although the effects of body size on metabolism are well‐known, the potential …

Complex eco-evolutionary dynamics induced by the coevolution of predator–prey movement strategies

C Netz, H Hildenbrandt, FJ Weissing - Evolutionary Ecology, 2022 - Springer
The coevolution of predators and prey has been the subject of much empirical and
theoretical research that produced intriguing insights into the interplay of ecology and …
