The global‐scale decline of animal biodiversity ('defaunation') represents one of the most
alarming consequences of human impacts on the planet. The quantification of this extinction …

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 …

Parental care is a trait that shows tremendous diversity both within and across different
animal taxa, and is an important topic in evolutionary biology and behavioural ecology …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 1459–1474 Abstract There is growing concern that rapid
environmental degradation threatens mutualistic interactions. Because mutualisms can bind …

Two very basic ideas in sexual selection are heavily influenced by numbers of potential
mates: the evolution of anisogamy, leading to sex role differentiation, and the frequency …

The ubiquity of global change and its impacts on biodiversity poses a clear and urgent
challenge for evolutionary biologists. In many cases, environmental change is so …

There is concern that the rate of environmental change is now exceeding the capacity of
many populations to adapt. Mitigation of biodiversity loss requires science that integrates …

Ecophylogenetics can be viewed as an emerging fusion of ecology, biogeography and
macroevolution. This new and fast‐growing field is promoting the incorporation of evolution …

A distinctive signature of living systems is Darwinian evolution, that is, a propensity to
generate as well as self-select individual diversity. To capture this essential feature of life …

Theoretical models pertaining to feedbacks between ecological and evolutionary processes
are prevalent in multiple biological fields. An integrative overview is currently lacking, due to …
