Growing evidence suggests that temporally fluctuating environments are important in maintaining variation both within and between species. To date, however, studies of genetic …
Community ecology typically assumes that competitive exclusion and species coexistence are unaffected by evolution on the time scale of ecological dynamics. However, recent …
Competition between species arises when two or more species share at least some of the same limited resources. It is likely to affect all species, as well as many higher-level aspects …

The ability for microbes to enter dormant states is adaptive under resource fluctuations and has been linked to the maintenance of diversity. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which …
Competition drives evolutionary change across taxa, but our understanding of how competitive differences among species directs the evolution of interspecific interactions …
Species exhibit various trade‐offs that can result in stable coexistence of competitors. The gleaner–opportunist trade‐off to fluctuations in resource abundance is one of the most …
Evolvability is the capacity of a population to generate heritable variation that can be acted upon by natural selection. This ability influences the adaptations and fitness of individual …
Nature exhibits rapid evolution in response to human activities. When using natural resources for their own profit, humans should account for such responses. Stackelberg …
Research in community ecology has tended to focus on trophic interactions (eg, predation, resource competition) as driving forces of community dynamics, and sexual interactions …
