Interest in host-associated microbiomes has skyrocketed recently, yet our ability to explain
microbiome variation has remained stubbornly low. Considering scales of interaction …

Explicit characterisation of the complexity of urban landscapes is critical for understanding
patterns of biodiversity and for detecting the underlying social and ecological processes that …

The study of tradeoffs among major life history components (age at maturity, lifespan and
reproduction) allowed the development of a quantitative framework to understand how …

Ecological fitness is the ability of individuals in a population to survive and reproduce.
Individuals with increased fitness are better equipped to withstand the selective pressures of …

Environmental legislation in many countries demands the rehabilitation of degraded areas
to minimize environmental impacts. Brazilian laws require the restitution of self-sustaining …

Eco‐evolutionary dynamics, or eco‐evolution for short, are often thought to involve rapid
demography (ecology) and equally rapid heritable phenotypic changes (evolution) leading …

Theory links dispersal and diversity, predicting the highest diversity at intermediate dispersal
levels. However, the modulation of this relationship by macro-eco-evolutionary mechanisms …

Dispersal and foodweb dynamics have long been studied in separate models. However,
over the past decades, it has become abundantly clear that there are intricate interactions …
