Group or solitary dispersal: worker presence and number favour the success of colony foundation in ants

This study shows that worker presence increases ant colony survival and growth, supporting group foundation as advantageous despite fewer propagules.

Habitat fragmentation selects for low dispersal in an ant species

The paper examines how habitat fragmentation affects dispersal in an ant species, finding that apterous queens are more common in fragmented urban parks than in forests.

Effects of adaptive harvesting on fishing down processes and resilience changes in predator-prey and tritrophic systems

This study shows that adaptive harvesting can cause fishing down the food web and reduce fisheries resilience in predator-prey and tritrophic systems.

To disperse or compete? Coevolution of traits leads to a limited number of reproductive strategies

This study uses a simulation model to show how coevolution of reproductive investment and propagule size leads to three equilibrium strategies influenced by resource availability and spatial structure.

Robustness vs productivity during evolutionary community assembly: short-term synergies and long-term trade-offs

This study examines how evolutionary feedbacks influence community robustness and productivity over time, showing short-term synergies and long-term trade-offs in species-rich systems.

Evolution of dispersal and the maintenance of fragmented metapopulations

The paper models how dispersal evolves in fragmented metapopulations and finds that high fragmentation selects for increased dispersal, but this effect diminishes with aggregation.

Evolutionary emergence of alternative stable states in shallow lakes

The paper uses a toy model to show that eco-evolutionary dynamics can lead to alternative stable states in shallow lakes under specific conditions involving resource trade-offs and competitive asymmetries.

Parasites make hosts more profitable but less available to predators

This study shows that Daphnia infected with DIV-1 are more profitable to predators due to higher energy content but less available due to reduced lifespan and mobility.

Attracting pollinators vs escaping herbivores: eco-evolutionary dynamics of plants confronted with an ecological trade-off

The paper studies eco-evolutionary dynamics of plants under a trade-off between attracting pollinators and escaping herbivores, finding that selection type and coexistence outcomes depend on interaction strengths and trade-off strength.

On eco-evolutionary dynamics of phenologies in competitive communities and their robustness to climate change

The paper models eco-evolutionary dynamics of phenologies in competitive communities, showing how environmental changes and dispersal affect biodiversity and adaptation.

Eco-evolutionary dynamics further weakens mutualistic interaction and coexistence under population decline

The paper shows that population decline in mutualistic species can drive the evolution of reduced mutualistic investment, leading to partner extinction, and highlights the need for early restoration efforts.

Stable coexistence in plant-pollinator-herbivore communities requires balanced mutualistic vs antagonistic interactions

The paper investigates the conditions for stable coexistence in plant-pollinator-herbivore communities and finds that a balance between pollination and herbivory is necessary.

Implications of the (co)evolution of agriculture and resource foraging for the maintenance of species diversity and community structure

The paper investigates the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of transitioning from predation to agriculture in a three-species model, showing how agricultural investment and resource specialization affect community structure.

Collapse and rescue of evolutionary food webs under global warming

The paper simulates how evolutionary rescue affects multitrophic communities under global warming, finding that evolution helps preserve biodiversity but cannot fully restore disrupted food web structures.

Effects of evolution on niche displacement and emergent population properties, a discussion on optimality

The paper discusses how evolution affects population properties and classifies invasion fitness functions, showing that optimization is incompatible with niche differentiation and polymorphism.

Evolution of predator foraging in response to prey infection favors species coexistence

This study shows that predator foraging strategies evolve in response to prey infection, promoting coexistence between prey, predators, and parasites under certain conditions.

Size-dependent eco-evolutionary feedbacks in fisheries

The paper explores size-dependent eco-evolutionary feedbacks in fisheries, showing how harvesting alters body size and population dynamics through complex ecological and evolutionary interactions.

Ecosystem tipping points in an evolving world

The paper examines how evolutionary changes in trait distributions affect ecosystem tipping points and their interaction with ecological shifts.

Effects of variations in adaptation potential on invasion speeds and species ranges

The paper examines how adaptation potential affects species invasion speeds and geographical ranges using a re-analysis of a model by Kirkpatrick and Barton.

From apparent competition to facilitation, impacts of consumer niche construction on the coexistence and stability of consumer-resource communities.

This study examines how consumer niche construction affects coexistence and stability in consumer-resource communities by altering trophic interactions and resource dynamics.

Parasitism effects on coexistence and stability within simple trophic modules

This study examines how parasitism influences coexistence and stability in a simple trophic module by analyzing virulence and interaction effects on predator-prey dynamics.

Multidimensionality of plant defenses and herbivore niches: implications for eco-evolutionary dynamics

The paper models the evolutionary dynamics of quantitative and qualitative plant defenses and herbivore niches, showing quantitative defenses promote diversity while qualitative defenses often hinder coexistence.
