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 …

Following severe environmental change that reduces mean population fitness below
replacement, populations must adapt to avoid eventual extinction, a process called …

The Balbina hydroelectric dam was built in the 1980s on the Uatumã River to supply
electricity to Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas, Brazil. Its construction caused a …

As climate change increasingly affects biodiversity and ecosystem services, a key challenge
in ecology is accurate attribution of these impacts. Though experimental studies have greatly …

Adaptation to novel environments have been documented at the population, phenotype and
genotype level. However, the ecological consequences of this process are often ignored …

Adaptation to abiotic stresses is pervasive and generally relies on traits that are not
independent from those affecting species interactions. Still, how such evolution affects …

This thesis explores how movement across spatially explicit landscapes mediates species-
resource interactions. Firstly, I model pollinator foraging across agricultural landscapes …
