Adaptation to complex environments is associated with higher fitness costs under benign conditions

This study shows that adaptation to complex environments with multiple stressors leads to lower fitness gains and higher fitness reductions under benign conditions compared to single stressors.

Warming-induced switches in dominance are built into intraguild predation systems

This study shows warming can shift power dynamics in intraguild predation systems by altering resource enrichment, without differences in thermal optima between species.

From proteins to species ranges: a framework for understanding thermal adaptation during range expansions

This paper develops a framework linking molecular thermodynamics to macroecological patterns of range expansion, showing that adaptation to warmer temperatures is easier than to cold.

Nutrient heterogeneity emerges from dynamical abiotic-biotic feedback in a spatially explicit plant-herbivore occupancy model

This study shows that biotic-abiotic feedbacks can generate nutrient spatial heterogeneity in a plant-herbivore model through varying dispersal, foraging, and recycling behaviors.

Co-evolution of host dispersal and parasite virulence in complex landscapes.

The paper develops an eco-evolutionary model to study how host dispersal and parasite virulence co-evolve in different landscapes, finding landscape-specific patterns influenced by network topology.

Experimental Evolution of the Thermal Performance Curve

This study examines how thermal performance curves (TPCs) of multiple traits evolve in response to increased temperatures in freshwater protists, finding trait-specific adaptations and limited changes in population growth rates.

Dispersal evolution can only rescue a limited set of species from climate change

The paper shows dispersal evolution can only rescue a limited set of species from climate change, depending on prior environmental conditions and evolutionary rates.

Perceived and observed biases within scientific communities: a case study in movement ecology

The paper examines perceived and observed biases in movement ecology through surveys and author affiliation analysis, identifying geographic and demographic disparities in research participation.

An evolutionary trade-off between parasite virulence and dispersal at experimental invasion fronts

This study shows parasites at the front of an epidemic evolve lower virulence and less horizontal transmission investment, suggesting a trade-off between virulence and host dispersal.

Bottom-up and top-down control of dispersal across major organismal groups: a coordinated distributed experiment

The paper tests how bottom-up and top-down controls affect dispersal across species and shows their impacts on community dynamics.

Population turnover reverses classic island biogeography predictions in river-like landscapes

The paper examines how population turnover in river-like landscapes reverses traditional island biogeography predictions.
