متن کاملBacteria–phage coevolution as a driver of ecological and evolutionary processes in microbial communities
Bacteria-phage coevolution, the reciprocal evolution between bacterial hosts and the phages that infect them, is an important driver of ecological and evolutionary processes in microbial communities. There is growing evidence from both laboratory and natural populations that coevolution can maintain phenotypic and genetic diversity, increase the rate of bacterial and phage evolution and diverge...
متن کاملClimate as a Driver of Evolutionary Change
The link between biodiversity and climate has been obvious to biologists since the work of von Humboldt in the early 1800s, but establishing the relationship of climate to ecological and evolutionary patterns is more difficult. On evolutionary timescales, climate can affect supply of energy by biotic and abiotic effects. Some of the best evidence for a link between biodiversity and climate come...
متن کاملBehavioral syndromes: an ecological and evolutionary overview.
Recent studies suggest that populations and species often exhibit behavioral syndromes; that is, suites of correlated behaviors across situations. An example is an aggression syndrome where some individuals are more aggressive, whereas others are less aggressive across a range of situations and contexts. The existence of behavioral syndromes focuses the attention of behavioral ecologists on lim...
متن کاملFlammability as a biological concept.
Studies examining plant flammability descriptors as fire-adaptive traits (e.g., Schwilk, 2003; Scarff & Westoby, 2006; Cowan & Ackerly, 2010; Saura-Mas et al., 2010; Pausas et al., 2012) are normally formulated within the framework of inclusive fitness theory. In such framework, flammabilityenhancing traits are considered to favour individuals if the elevated flammability confers fitness benefi...
