Developing deeper links between ecology and evolution is not a new idea has been advocating since at least the 1950s (Futuyma, 1986), but most 20th-century attempts can be considered more as rapprochement than actual integration (Huneman, 2019 for detailed historical review). However, based on early isolated insights (e.g. Antonovics, 1976; Pimentel, 1961), revivified over last two decades, around concepts of eco-evolutionary dynamics feedbacks (Hendry, 2017). Significant efforts have indeed made to percolate ideas fields, especially across biodiversity levels Hendry, 2017; Leibold & Chase, Loreau, 2010; Vellend, 2016), even if (i) done population community level higher ecological organization including ecosystem functioning) (ii) analyses reciprocal remain rare compared mainstream research in either field. The number studies claiming ‘eco–evo’ risen sharply (Bassar et al., 2021), these actually represent classical ‘eco’ or ‘evo’ approaches, raising question what eco–evo really is. definition proposed by Bassar al.

Abstract We suggest that biogeomorphology should challenge the traditional dichotomy between living and non‐living components of Earth surface systems. To achieve this, biogeomorphologists gain a better understanding eco‐evolutionary models empirical findings developing at interface ecology evolutionary biology. Eco‐evolutionary explore feedback loops genes, organisms physical or biological outside organism's body.

Theoretical studies from diverse areas of population biology have shown that demographic stochasticity can substantially impact evolutionary dynamics in finite populations, including scenarios where traits are disfavored by natural selection nevertheless increase frequency through the course evolution. Here, we analytically describe eco-evolutionary populations first principles to investigate how noise-induced effects alter fate which total size may vary stochastically over time. Starting a generic birth-death process describing individuals with discrete traits, derive set stochastic differential equations (SDEs) recover well-known descriptions such as replicator-mutator equation, Price and Fisher's fundamental theorem infinite limit. For our SDEs reveal predictably bias trajectories favour certain phenomenon call 'noise-induced biasing'. We show biasing acts two distinct mechanisms `direct' `indirect' mechanisms. While direct mechanism be identified classic bet-hedging theory, indirect is more subtle consequence density-dependent stochasticity. Our lead evolution proceeding direction opposite predicted By extending generalizing some standard genetics, thus appears alongside interacts well-understood forces neutral drift determine non-constant size.

Evolutionary change within community members and shifts in species composition via sorting contribute to trait dynamics. However, we do not understand when how both processes Here, estimated the contributions of evolution over time (60 days) bacterial communities 24 under selection by a ciliate predator. We found that contributed increased carrying capacity, while decreased anti-predator defences. The relative roles changed time, our analysis indicates if initial variation was direction selection, prevailed, otherwise drove phenotypic change. Furthermore, composition, population densities genomic were affected match-mismatch combinations predator prey evolutionary history.

In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and their local environment. addition, ecosystems are coupled space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways indirect effects: feedback loops. This contributes to creating a nested set feedbacks operating at organizational levels as well spatial temporal scales systems: modifying being affected abiotic environment, demographic behavioral within populations communities, occurring the landscape scale. Here, we review how vary time, discuss emergent properties they generate such coexistence or heterogeneity stability systems.
