Dispersal is a process of central importance for the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and …

Theory predicts that sexual reproduction is difficult to maintain if asexuality is an option, yet
sex is very common. To understand why, it is important to pay attention to repeatably …

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 …

Historically, many biologists assumed that evolution and ecology acted independently
because evolution occurred over distances too great to influence most ecological patterns …

Over the past decade, technological advances in experimental and animal tracking
techniques have motivated a renewed theoretical interest in animal collective motion and, in …

Theory generally predicts that host specialisation and dispersal should evolve jointly.
Indeed, many models predict that specialists should be poor dispersers to avoid landing on …

The Anopheles gambiae complex contains a number of highly anthropophilic mosquito
species that have acquired exceptional ability to thrive in complex human habitats. Thus …

Organisms commonly experience significant spatiotemporal variation in their environments.
In response to such heterogeneity, different mechanisms may act that enhance ecological …

The concept of life‐history traits and the study of these traits are the hallmark of population
biology. Acknowledging their variability and evolution has allowed us to understand how …

Explanations of how organisms might adapt to urban environments have mostly focused on
divergent natural selection and adaptive plasticity. However, differential habitat choice has …
