Theories of how species evolve in changing environments mostly consider single species in
isolation or pairs of interacting species. Yet all organisms live in diverse communities …

There is growing realization that intraspecific variation in seed dispersal can have important
ecological and evolutionary consequences. However, we do not have a good understanding …

The benefits of masting (volatile, quasi-synchronous seed production at lagged intervals)
include satiation of seed predators, but these benefits come with a cost to mutualist pollen …

Studies of evolutionary responses to novel environments typically consider single species or
perhaps pairs of interacting species. However, all organisms co-occur with many other …

Plants produce an enormous diversity of secondary metabolites, but the evolutionary
mechanisms that maintain this diversity are still unclear. The interaction diversity hypothesis …

Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) play a central role in seed dispersal and fruit defense,
with potential for large impacts on plant fitness and demography. Yet because PSMs can …

The impact of community complexity on pairwise coevolutionary dynamics is theoretically
dependent on the extent to which species evolve generalised or specialised adaptations to …

For many squirrel species, their intense–arguably coevolutionary–interactions with seed and
nut producing trees have significantly shaped their biology and diversity. Here we provide …

Spatial variation in the direction of selection drives the evolution of adaptive differentiation.
However, few experimental studies have examined the relative importance of different …

It is easier to predict the ecological and evolutionary outcomes of interactions in less diverse
communities. As species are added to communities, their direct and indirect interactions …
