DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8658
Abstract: Abstract Parasite–host interactions can drive periodic population dynamics when parasites overexploit host populations. The timing of host seasonal activity, or host phenology, determines the frequency and demographic impact of parasite–host interactions, which may govern whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10144-018-0608-7
Abstract: Age at maturation is a key life history trait influencing individual fitness, population age structure, and ecological interactions. We investigated the evolution of age at maturity through changes in the von Bertalanffy growth constant for… read more here.

The emergence of heterotrophy in an eco-evolutionary model: modelling trophic transitions in a resource-based framework with naturally-bounded trait distributions

DOI: 10.1007/s10682-019-09981-4
Abstract: A plankton eco-evolutionary model with an alga that has the metabolic pathways to allow it to function as an autotroph or heterotroph is considered. Ecological constraints dictate that the traits that describe the feeding preferences… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2018.12.031
Abstract: It is widely recognised that eco-evolutionary feedbacks can have important implications for evolution. However, many models of host-parasite coevolution omit eco-evolutionary feedbacks for the sake of simplicity, typically by assuming the population sizes of both… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0022149x23000056
Abstract: Abstract The evolution of helminth parasites has long been seen as an interplay between host resistance to infection and the parasite's capacity to bypass such resistance. However, there has recently been an increasing appreciation of… read more here.

A dynamic eco-evolutionary model predicts slow response of alpine plants to climate warming

DOI: 10.1038/ncomms15399
Abstract: Withstanding extinction while facing rapid climate change depends on a species' ability to track its ecological niche or to evolve a new one. Current methods that predict climate-driven species' range shifts use ecological modelling without… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biosci/biab010
Abstract: Humans are dominant global drivers of ecological and evolutionary change, rearranging ecosystems and natural selection. In the present article, we show increasing evidence that human activity also plays a disproportionate role in shaping the eco-evolutionary… read more here.

Towards an Integrative, Eco-Evolutionary Understanding of Ecological Novelty: Studying and Communicating Interlinked Effects of Global Change

DOI: 10.1093/biosci/biz095
Abstract: Abstract Global change has complex eco-evolutionary consequences for organisms and ecosystems, but related concepts (e.g., novel ecosystems) do not cover their full range. Here we propose an umbrella concept of “ecological novelty” comprising (1) a… read more here.

Ecological opportunity and predator–prey interactions: linking eco-evolutionary processes and diversification in adaptive radiations

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.2550
Abstract: Much of life's diversity has arisen through ecological opportunity and adaptive radiations, but the mechanistic underpinning of such diversification is not fully understood. Competition and predation can affect adaptive radiations, but contrasting theoretical and empirical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2020.0504
Abstract: Recent studies have revealed the importance of feedbacks between contemporary rapid evolution (i.e. evolution that occurs through changes in allele frequencies) and ecological dynamics. Despite its inherent interdisciplinary nature, however, studies on eco-evolutionary feedbacks have… read more here.
