Biodiversity and climate change: integrating evolutionary and ecological responses of species and communities
Today's scientists are facing the enormous challenge of predicting how climate change will
affect species distributions and species assemblages. To do so, ecologists are widely using …

Direct and indirect effects of white-tailed deer in forest ecosystems
Ungulates can profoundly alter the structure and composition of forest communities via both
direct and indirect mechanisms. Individual plant species often respond in a unique way to …

Evolutionary responses of natives to introduced species: what do introductions tell us about natural communities?
Biological invasions dramatically affect the distribution, abundance and reproduction of
many native species. Because of these ecological effects, exotic species can also influence …

Plant–herbivore coevolution and plant speciation
More than five decades ago, Ehrlich and Raven proposed a revolutionary idea–that the
evolution of novel plant defense could spur adaptive radiation in plants. Despite motivating …
