The impacts of environmental predictability on the ecology and evolution of animal
movement have been the subject of vigorous speculation for several decades. Recently, the …

Evolutionary game theory and the adaptive dynamics approach have made invaluable
contributions to understanding how gradual evolution leads to adaptation when individuals …

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

Niche Theory is a central framework in ecology based on the recognition that most
interactions between organisms are indirect, mediated by the biotic and abiotic dynamical …

Host and parasite evolution are closely intertwined, with selection for adaptations and
counter‐adaptations forming a coevolutionary feedback loop. Coevolutionary dynamics are …

Community ecology typically assumes that competitive exclusion and species coexistence
are unaffected by evolution on the time scale of ecological dynamics. However, recent …

The incidence of vector-borne disease is on the rise globally, with burdens increasing in
endemic countries and outbreaks occurring in new locations. Effective mitigation and …

The human brain is unusually large. It has tripled in size from Australopithecines to modern
humans and has become almost six times larger than expected for a placental mammal of …

The field of eco‐evolutionary dynamics is develo** rapidly, with a growing number of well‐
designed experiments quantifying the impact of evolution on ecological processes and …

The concept of biological adaptation was closely connected to some mathematical,
engineering and physical ideas from the very beginning. Cannon in his “The wisdom of the …
