Individual organisms often show pronounced changes in body size throughout life with
concomitant changes in ecological performance. We synthesize recent insight into the …

Cannibalism is characterized by four aspects: killing victims, gaining energy from victims,
size–dependent interactions and intraspecific competition. In this review of mathematical …

" The mathematical theory of persistence answers questions such as which species, in a
mathematical model of interacting species, will survive over the long term. It applies to …

Quantifying sublethal effects of plastics ingestion on marine wildlife is difficult, but key to
understanding the ontogeny and population dynamics of affected species. We developed a …

The aim of these notes is to illustrate, largely by way of examples, how standard ecological
models can be put into an evolutionary perspective in order to gain insight in the role of …

Our starting point is a selection–mutation equation describing the adaptive dynamics of a
quantitative trait under the influence of an ecological feedback loop. Based on the …

Robustness of coexistence against changes of parameters is investigated in a model-
independent manner by analyzing the feedback loop of population regulation. We define …

Evolutionary biology and ecology have a strong theoretical underpinning, and this has
fostered a variety of modeling approaches. A major challenge of this theoretical work has …

Goal: Elucidating the role of the eco-evolutionary feedback loop in determining
evolutionarily stable life histories, with particular reference to the methodological status of …

We show that the perturbation theory for dual semigroups (sun-star-calculus) that has
proved useful for analyzing delay-differential equations is equally efficient for dealing with …
